• Planning a build with some HED Sonic Hubs from an Ardennes wheelset to some kind of Chinese Carbon rim. I weigh 65kg and planning 18h (radial) front, 24h (radial NDS, 2X DS) rear. Would DT Aero Comp all round, or DT Aero Lite, with Aero comp Drive side only be recommended?

  • The spoke count is absolutely fine as long as you will treat them as racing/club run rims.
    Re spokes and lacing

    Front: Radial, cx-ray/aerolite
    Rear: 2x Both sides - the rim is gonna move between your brake pads regardless of spoke gauge. Using heavier gauge spoke like aerocomp is gonna reduce this a little bit.
    Any carbon rim is more then suitable to be used with thin spokes when it comes to durability
