• Thinking of building a wheelset for wet commuting (although won't be London potholes)...thinking low flange Novatec's, CX-Ray (maybe)/D-Light (most likely) on Archetypes, double fixed.

    I know I'm asking a really generic question, what sort of spoke crossing should I go for and spoke count?

    I was thinking 20/24...but would that be enough for fixed and occasional track use? I'm almost considering going 24/28 with 2x. Total weight of me and backpack <80kg.

  • Why skimp on robustness of the main usage is commuting? As @JB says, 32 hole laced 3 cross would be much better for your needs.

  • 32h 3x it is...if that's the case I might just rebuild my 32h Phils instead of going new hubs. Shame that sprockets cost so much. Oh well, bling factor etc.
