I want to upgrade the wheel set of my Ace of Spades. Finding a direct replacement wheel set is difficult because of the priority rear hub that secures the gates cog.

Thus, I am looking into upgrading my current wheel set with better rims & double butted spokes. Does anyone have any info to share about Ace of Spades wheel improvements?
How much weight was saved & how did the upgrades affect the quality of the bikes ride.

Thanks!
Andy
