• Hypothetical Build:
    6700 Rear Hub 36h (because I have it)
    Velocity A23 OC 36h (unobtainable right now hence the hypothetical nature of this build)
    Sapim Cx-Ray 298mm for both NDS and DS in a 4-cross pattern both sides. (Currently less than €2 each in a box of 20 from bike-components)

    Would this be a good build for a tourer / Audax wheel build?

    I struggled with spoke windup when I used 1.5mm spokes previously, thinking the cx-rays would help me out there due to the profile.

    CX-Rays seem like an extravagance. I'd use DT Alpine III on a build like that, but DT Comp or Sapim Race would be fine too.

  • Not only that but at 36 spokes wheel it may be a good chunk of the full build for hardly any benefit. Do a 32 hole with normal spokes.
