On-One / Planet X bikes and components

not necessarily... you can get 28/32 hole hand builds for around 1670 - which isn't significantly heavier than say Ksyrium elites and about the same as Equpies ... and they'll be stiff and strong for the Surrey potholes - not to mention the fact that I seem to be able to get most 24h lightweight rear wheels to move around and rub the pads (it's my awesome power you see).

My wheels are based on the build below. The 24 hole rear has a classic 16 spoke 3x drive side which my rugy front row forward legs have yet to flex. From a builders point of view, both sides of the wheel have equal(ish) tension, which rocks. All the convenience of alloy clinchers, in a semi aero 1280g package.

I would'nt go with Ti spokes personally, and tuning the hubs sounds tricky.But with the parts I used, but with kinlin not carbon rims. You could have a rocking yet easy to live with wheelset.

Let me know if youwant more info, when I'm sober tomorrow ;)
