Larry and Dale - your timing is *great.*

I just gave Fred my list of days off at the shop through June and I think he had heart palpitations. He was pink when I got to the Cirque weekend and turned positively RED when I explained that I'd be going to BRAG.

Ya'all need to affirm just how important it is for me to get to Cirque! Quick, think of some way that frolicking in NC with all my favorite vintage bike people benefits Bicycle South! Then tell Fred...

Ok, now onto wheels. I've got this pair of high flanged campy hubs laced up to Martano rims. Everything I've read in the archives tells me not too get too excited when tensioning, that overtensioning these wheels can be the death of them. The spokes on the Martanos are shot, I'd like to lace them up to some other low flange hubs I've got and will probably use Wheelsmith 14g spokes. Does this sound ok? How old are these wheels?

I've also got another pair of tubular wheels, a pair of Mavic CX18 rims laced up on low flange Campy hubs. These also need to be respoked. Do I also need to tell my wheelbuilder to not over tension?

And out of the two sets of rims, which are the most sturdy and desirable?
