• 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.

  • You know it! Although a winter where I live is pretty damn dry, so chances are the "winter wheels" will actually be my "only wheels".

    In all seriousness I'll probably be reminded of CX prices and just stick to ye olde Race or D-Light spokes because I can't break the aero-spoke-benefit barrier (was it 30/35mph or so?)

  • @miro_o yeah, they're a massive extravagance, especially at high spoke counts.
