A Set of New Wheels

DT Swiss RR 465 rims and Shimano Ultegra hubs

I picked up a set of new wheels for my trip today. I broke a couple spokes in the two years of riding my current bike and was looking for a wheel with more strength and durability than the original set. Generally the more spokes a wheel has, the more strength it has, with the riders weight distributed over more spokes. Sean from The Bike Lane recommended I get DT Swiss RR 465 rims and Shimano Ultegra hubs assembled by Handspun Bike Wheels. There was a short discussion with Peggy as to whether she pre-approved this purchase or not, but my Birthday is coming up soon.
