Hi, I'm building a new rear wheel for my cross/road bike but I'm dithering a bit of a lace pattern. I've got a 32h Halo Supa Drive hub and will (probably) use an Open Pro - although if anyone's got any recommendations on road rims in a similar price range let me know!
In the past I've just done 3x for my rear wheels but thought of maybe being a bit more adventuress and going x3 or maybe even 2x drive and radial none drive? Or 1x none drive?
I'm only about 55kgs and I figure as it's 32h this shouldn't be a problem and I've got another wheelset I'll use for more everyday/off road riding - although it's hardly a weight weenie bike and obviously I don't want to be popping spokes after 800 miles.
Any advice welcome!
