Reckon 24h would be fine and he's just being over cautious?
Are you heavier than me? I'd happily ride track with 24H on the back with any rim that's sold in 24H. The Flo30 isn't so far off the Mavic Ellipse rim in terms of weight and depth, and Ellipses worked for me with only 20 spokes. Track rear wheels need fewer spokes than road wheels to achieve a given axial stiffness due to the lack of dish.

That was pretty much the exhaustive list of hub options I'd come across…but:
Miche - cheese
BLB - A.BLB B. Low flange
Paul - Weird chainline
Phil - $$$
Any other options?
But what you're saying is I should scrap this idea and come visit Glemhole for a pair of hand built open pros?
I've exchanged a few emails with Jon (Co-founder) and he recommended 28h, even then was slightly reluctant to give it the thumbs up until I'd said it would be built 3x but someone who knows what they're doing. Reckon 24h would be fine and he's just being over cautious?
Sale opens (and probably closes again) in the morning…I'd better sleep on it
