Which Kinlin builds in tot he lightest wheel
Thanks for this reply. Good info.
I’d like to keep some used 32h 10sp hubs. I’m thinking I’ll build it up with lasers all round. Radial front and 3x rear on kinlin xr22 rims.
I know 32h radial front is considered anti but I’m light on wheels and would like to keep the bike weight down.
It’s for a cross bike. So I’m keen on the well-sealed hubs and ok with a few more spokes than normal.

Which Kinlin builds in tot he lightest wheel well that depends on the the hubs used but to give an example of two standard builds I do.
24F/28R XR22T rim, laser spoke front , force rear Miche Primato hub and 20F24R XR31T rims, CX rays front and CX force rear with miche primato hubs and the weight is the same.
You can go lower spoke count with the XR22T but I would not. one for a 65kg rider resulted in a failed spoke. I did fear this and changed the build to 28 spoke rear some time ago. I was right to fear.
So how light you can go does depend on how much of a risk with spoke failure you want to take.
