Hey, y'all.
Long story short: I have a couple of black Schwinn middleweight frames in need of new wheels (hopefully 3 frames by this weekend ;-)), and I'm intrigued by those 100+ spoke wheelsets. These builds won't see anything crazy, but they will be ridden quite a bit. I have a couple of questions...
1) Are most of these wheelsets created equal? Anything to watch out for when shopping around? Recommended brands/vendors?
2) How does the ride quality compare to the factory wheels?
3) Do they known to have any particular issues (bad hubs, staying true, peeling/chipping finish, etc.)
4) Anything else I should keep in mind?
