Thanks

Obviously the ones Chris has but failing that I've had no problems with any of my Superstar wheels. The ones below aren't SS specific but they're a very good price (nothing a spacer set won't cure). They will build with SS hubs though.

Two sets of superstar switch/crest wheels here with no issues. I'd be tempted to just go for a normal free hub to give you more options.

Re: Single speed 29er wheelset?
I use some mavic wheels that were about £200. Pretty light by my standards and ride well. Not sure of the name (crossrides?) but for 10% of the wheelset value, I got a 3 years insurance via Mavic. Basically, if they cant fix your wheel within the 3 years, they give you a new one (apparently even if you trashed them through you own fault)
edit; they're not SS specific but I added some spacers in to use them singlespeed
