Oh I'm interested in this thread as well. I have an Austro Daimler Inter10 I use as my road bike. Currently running 32h Ultegra to Mavic SUP rims. They're nice, but I briefly had some Shimano C24 WH-9000's, and while I don't know if the weight made a difference, the engagement in the freehub certainly did. Those wheels took off as soon as I pedaled, and I loved riding them. Sold them because I do some mixed riding, and those were road wheels through and through, but I've always kept my eyes open for some newer, all-silver wheels with a better freehub than what I'm using now. Finding the right combination of strength, weight, and fast 'feeling' is so tricky.
I've been curious about the Ritchey Zeta classics for a while, as they seem pretty robust in a classy, 20/24 lacing package.
