Rod Liddle is a cunt

From what I gathered, that is mostly undisputed.

Regarding spoke counts, there's two factors:
- I'm a heavy rider --> up the spokes count
- I'm currently eyeing up Light Bicycle's carbon rims, and according to Roger Musson's wheel-building book that everyone loves, carbon rims can deal with fewer spokes --> reduce the spokes count
So all in all, I'm thinking 32h is probably fine, which, as far as I can see, looks like the most common number anyway. Do you have any strong opinions on that?

In any case, thanks for your answer :)

It's a children's book, and children seem to love it. When I was a boy, we only had Jobst.

Not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean. It looks like an exceedingly useful and informative book to me though.
