My new front wheel (Mavic D521, 32h, 3x pattern) coupled with a Schwalbe Big Apple has held up really well. It seems significantly stronger than the 48h Halo it replaced. I'm seriously considering a change to a mountain bike so I could have 26" all-round, but everything I've seen has a wheelbase and/or chainstays that are too long.
