I first wrote this article in autumn 2011 but things have moved on a lot since then with a greater choice of wheel components and some products being discontinued. It's a long one so for a whistle-stop tour of our best cross components keep reading after the "more" link.

This is one of our more custom-custom wheelsets, some wheels for a customer building a cargo bike frameset from scratch.
They are smaller than our average wheel build with twenty inch Velocity Aeroheat rims laced to Sturmey Archer rear 3 speed internal hubs which feature a 9 speed cassette body giving the customer 27 gears, and it's a Hope Pro II Evo front hub in red.
We didn't weigh them before they went out but the Sturmey Archer F30 hub (which, confusingly, also seems to go by the name of "CS-RK3") weighs in at 1155g, quite a chunky beast but not bad considering the number of gears.

A rather nice and unusual build for us, pink Phil Wood high flange hubs with fixed rear laced to the still quite new H Plus Son Archetype rim.

We will be at the Surrey Hill Road Race Festival just over a mile from where JRA started from 28-29th July in the Expo at Denbies Vineyard, Dorking. It is a free event for people going to watch the Olympic road races up and around Box Hill. As well as the Expo it will have BBC live screens to watch the event on. We will be in the Bespoked Bristol marquee with some of the frame makers so come and say hello and have a look round.

Chris king ISO disk hubs laced to Enve Carbon AM rims
I don't think it can get any better than this Chris King / Enve / CX-Ray combination. One of the stiffest, strongest wheelsets money can buy with a weight of just 1584g per pair and able to take a lot of hammer.
The unrivalled stiffness of the Enve rims means that lightweight bladed Sapim CX-Ray spokes can be used for a weight and aerodynamic advantage with no concerns over wheel stiffness.
