Planning on building myself up a set of nice wheels for my good fixie. Probably DA high flange hubs and CXP33's or the similar and aero speed spokes. Should I go for 32 or 36 spokes though? Im not very heavy, say 12 stone, but the roads I ride on are pretty badly surfaced with no real choice of a smooth line.
Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to each apart from the obvious weight/stiffness ones?
