Hello - some help from the more knowledgeable please:

Trying to decide on a front wheel set up for my TCR and long audaxs.

Hub: SP PV - 8 Dynamo

Rims. I want something to be tubeless compatabile, although not sure if I will go tubeless immediately.

I am thinking about either:

Kinlin XR31T
DT Swiss 511
DT Swiss 440

Thinking 32 hole. I am 90kg and want durability over lightness. Obviously I'm going to be using rim brakes.

Haven't got a clue about spokes...

Cheers in advance

In that case forget the 440s. The 511 would work fine, but the Kinlin is cheaper, a little bit wider and lighter, making it a win-win-win.

Cool, thanks.

Chris white (ridefar.info) mentions the xr31t can be a pain with tubeless tyres on an offset rim. Do you have any experience of that?

Also, what spokes would you recommend?

Cheers
