are the 32 spokes on the DT swiss 29er rim posted by smallfurry strong enough for carrying heavy loads? spoke count seems to start at 36 on a lot of load carriers.
i'm planning on having a similar bike built (not building myself for same reasons as DJ - i can't do it as cheaply!) this summer with reynolds 853 and cross / tourer geo with all braze ons and hopefully 29er rims on it.

Phenomenal value. Something similar to the white framed bike but they are all custom builds.
