Message:	The standard of wheel building from CRC is pretty good now. A year or 2 back they used to ship some of the slackest wheels I've ever seen. I'm not sure whether they stress relieve the wheels after building though, so long term straightness and spoke reliability might be an issue. I bought my last few sets of wheels from CRC, but I dismantled and rebuilt them myself to make sure everything was right (And to line up the hub logo with the valve hole for that custom wheel feeling) as there's no more convenient way for me to get my hands on all the parts for a wheel with the correct spoke lengths. Doing your own stress relieving on the wheel after you get it should be enough to ensure it's reliable - look up sheldonbown.com for details on how to do this.
