Yeah I’m trying to decide between definitely having no problems with 36h hope pro 4, or building 32h with the Chris king I already have with a beast of a rim and hopefully having no problems.
Unfortunately I need the wheel yesterday so can’t wait for a 36h king to come up.
Rim options are:
Velocity cliffhanger - nice but getting hold of the matching 20” will be an expensive PITA.
DT E512 - lighter, cheaper and kind of matches a gusset trix for the front. The kind of bit is putting me off.

I’ve been using a 32hole pro 2 hub with d521 rim that I built (only the second wheel I’ve ever built) since 2016 and i regularly carry two 3 and a half stone toddlers, snacks and me 90ish kg. Also have a huge rear rack (like a caddy rack) that my wife sits on regularly and I’ve not even had to true the wheel. I’m sure 32hole built well with a good rim will be golden
I went for 36h on my omnium and haven't had any issues. They were hand built by a decent wheel building which I think is the most important part of the process.
