What are the best wheels you can buy/make?

[Mr.Ed]

they may be cheap, but has anyone besides me noticed the difference between cartridge bearings and standard when rolling ?

Hugi hubs, Mavic rims, can't remember the spokes, but i have brass nipples and have had zero problems...when I rode it

My bike is a no Shimano zone (except for a FD cause no makes one that will fit).  But I would definately want a set that are better and lighter than my Rolfs.  No point in upgrading to heavier wheels.  I also, am just not hard on wheels.  Or atleast I'm that way when I'm down to my 185/195lb racing wieght.  And with the new shocks, I don't see ever having any problems.  And considering that brass nipples way 2X as much as aluminum, I really don't see using brass, even though I know they are slightly better.

I actually think alum nipples are better. Most brass nipples are made in the land of rice cakes.

...so I guess none of y'all in the UK want me to bring a set with me next month
