• So many places I could post this but I'll start here. I'm looking to build up a dynamo front wheel for the TAW race in June. Prob a disk brake one to go on a Kinesis 4S which is has QR dropouts.

    Going to get a 32H SP dynamo hub, is it worth getting a 12mm thru axle hub and using a QR adaptor so that the wheel is future proofed in the event I buy a new frame?

    For the rim, I was looking at the DT Swiss RR 511 - Is this a good choice or are their better/cheaper options out there?

    And spoke wise, Ideally I want aero spokes - are the new DT Aero ones @mdcc_tester mentioned recently a good bet?

    Thanks!

  • Just my two cents, but I'd agree that going for the 12mmTA option with an adapter.

    For rims consider the Kinlin XR options great quality and value. @cycleclinic has a selection on his site.

    For a 32spoke where I don't think the benenfit of aero spokes is that significant and you're probably better off going with something like a Sapim Race or DT equivalent.
