watever you do dont get the 48 spoke ones. unless ur really big and are really not smooth at street(180's 360's) it will be really hard to wreck the SASs if you keep them in good shape(truing). I think they are a bit too much on the heavy side. I myself am using mavic 729 laced to a chris king. its soooo nice. the 729s are super stiff a little heavy(lighter then SAS) and they are super strong also. might cost a little bit more to build(depending on hub). the rims are about 90-100 and with a hub u can get them as cheap as like 40 for ok hubs and a little bit more for the build. over all the sas wheels are super strong but heavy and will make the bike feel a little clumsy. so i recomend mavic! theyre super strong
P.S. make sure you have a good mechanic building your wheel, makes the biggest difference.
