I’m struggling to find a consensus / up to date info on line. How many spokes should a road disc wheelset have? Most places seem to agree 24/24 and not radial to deal with braking forces. If I’m using 30mm ish alloy rims and weigh ~75kg, could I go down to 24/20? Also realise I’m probably overthinking it but like to increase my understanding of it all :)
I wouldn’t go less than 24 personally, and even that seems low. I think with 20 I’d start worrying about load limits, rotor sizes, braking hard etc. 😅. But maybe I’m over cautious…
