For $50 more you should be able to find some X-max SL rim types. Really stiff, strong, light. Nylong bushings may require attention every 18months or so but its a small price to pay.

I also think Hope Pro IIs are good. They're loud though, but they weigh about the same as ChrisKing ~300g hub. The front hub is also convertable between 20mm and std quick Release. I have a pair of these by the Path and I haven't had to touch them.
A friend had a light set built with DT 4.1's w/WTB Lazerdisc lites by the Path too for about $500. Though, check on the WTB hubs because some folks have had problems. They may have changed the rear bearings recently because of this. But they're wicked light and much cheaper than King.
For $540 Dave Thomas of Dave's Wheels will build you a really nice set. I think his "stock set" are American Classic front/Custom White Ind. Rear on Bontrager Mustangs. He does a lot of interesting stuff with mixing spoke guages and spoke manufacturers and lacing patterns. But he's a really good guy to talk to on the phone.
or Mike Garcia at www.oddsandendos.com Heard good things about him too.
Are you going to run UST? I hear the DT rim strips for the 4.1s are really easy to use or maybe some of the new Stan's rims.
Hope this helps.

If he is, he could also run the mavic 819's which are UST... had a set built w/ Hope Pro IIs for about $500 and I think Jordan had a set done at the path for about $450....

I have 2 sets of Hope bulbs and I have a set of Hope Pro2s coming in. I think Hope makes the best hubs out there if you are looking for the best balance between price, weight, ease of maintenence and repair and durability

Uh-huh. I am just surprised that the hubs don't leak more, considering that "English craftsmanship".
Hi Keith,
I've developed a bearing replacement kit that duplicates the material, fit and function of the worn bushing and you get the outer ball bearing as well. It's called the Mavic Hub Doctor. I'll have my website launched soon (hubdoctor.com) but for now you can purchase it on MTBR, roadbikereview and craigslist (orange county) and Ebay. Here's a video on how to open the rear hub, http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Overhaul-a-Mavic-Free-Hub-66770606 The hub is fully rebuildable and it's cost effective at only $22 shipped!
Cheers!

I don't think he was looking to rebuild his hubs two years ago.
If the product you're pitching duplicates the stock parts, why not just use Mavic parts that are generaly readily available from any Mavic dealer?
Contribute a bit more so that you can pitch your stuff in Marketplace so you don't have to resurrect threads from the dead with the spam.
That video quality is very choppy! (or is that just my computer?)
