I'm building a fixed commuter with a front disc.
Already have rear hub so just going 32 spokes there but for the front I want to use a hope pro4 hub and a kinlin XR26. I'm going to use a front rack, not to carry super heavy loads just clothes, shoes, lunch etc. I weigh around 70kg.
Is 32 hole on the front overkill, should I go 28? Is 28 going to be super strong in that format anyway? Should also add I'm going to use a asymmetric front rim.
