Going to finally dive in to building up my own wheels in the near future, still finalising the seperate bits. Settled on Kinlin XR22RTS and Sapim Race, a pretty standard affair. Still deciding on hubs, I was going to go with Bitex, but wonder if I should save a bit of money and get Shimano hubs, like the 105 R7070 and put that savings into some nice tyres. What's the thoughts on Shimano hubs, or it the extra for the Bitex worth the £30-odd extra?
And would 32 F/R be overkill for this build for a 105kg rider like myself?
