I have recently been snapping rear spokes on my omnium (700c 32h). I am quite often carrying 50-60kg, though not for prolonged periods on it, and I weigh 70, but the wheels weren’t particularly good ones.
What are peoples thoughts on building a fairly hench 700/32h wheel vs 36h? I already have some nice 32h hubs but can sell them and get a 36 if it’ll be better.
tldr - trying to work if the problem is a crap build or the number of spokes before I spend monies on new wheel.
