Tires make the difference in the ride. The wheel/rim selection is
minor in comparison. You are using tires with thick sidewalls. I
like Axial Pro tires but you'll get better wear and value and almost
the same with with Axial Carbon tires. AND have faith, put only 100
lbs of air into the tires.


Eventually I want to get another set of wheels and I am leaning
towards the Open Pros w/Dura-Ace hubs. Should I also consider
replacing the hubs on my current wheels? The only downside to that
idea, is that I'll have to pay someone to do the labor. While I am
buying tools and starting to do more of my own labor, I'm not ready to
tackle wheels.
And finally comparison of DA to Ultegra hubs, differences? benefits?

Use your current wheels out unless they start becoming unreliable.
There are no performance differences between Ultegra 6500 and DA 7700
hubs. The Ti hub body and axel don't do anything. Of course, using
my logic, everyone would ride around in a Ford Taurus.
