I'm in the hunt for one more set of tubular wheels for cross next season. Our early season races are dry and rough so I stray away from using my carbon wheels. I have a set of Bontrager Race X Lite and while they are nice wheels the amount of drag generated from the cartridge bearings is annoying.
My DA hubs on the my carbon wheels have held up very well and the ball bearings roll fast and smooth. I'm thinking about building up a set of DA hubs to Reflex rims. Are there any other hubs/rims I should consider? I don't want a cartridge bearing hub, and I'm not sure who is using ball bearings. It would be a lot easier if I could find something prebuilt.
