Go to a GOOD bike shop and have a pair built up.

Clinchers or Sprint rims? Flip-flop hub or single sided?

Aero spokes or DB S/S?

The choice is yours.

Pista are fine.

I've got some brand new wheels from Specialized today, never fitted, never had a tyre mounted or anything, they are the new 2009 Langster aero look wheels, 32 spoke. They were replacements for mine that developed a prob, but I bought a set of Royce hub handbuilt wheels so now the replacements are surplus and will be on ebay at the weekend. Make me an offer if you are interested etc
