[#6604651]

My good wife has signed up for the etape and has given me the go ahead to upgrade her road bike (I'm always eager for a bike build). She's got a [url= http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/model/scr.3.0.spring.07/157/28822/#features ]Giant SCR3[/url] with fairly cheap wheels (Alex DA22 rims on Formula hubs).

Any advice on what to go for? I quite like hope hubs for their cartridge bearings, I'm pretty rubbish at looking after cup and cone (I'm sure I could learn). Would anyone be able to suggest something more appropriate than Pro3s on Stans Alpha rims or why not to go for these?

Thanks
Mat

Quite fond of Fulcrums myself, again which ever fit your budget.
