Hi varno.
I'm just looking for a wheelset for my new runabout build - and look what thread should drop into my lap. I thought about just emailing you, but if I ask my question here, it bumps your thread. :-)
My main worry would be my weight. At 105kg, I'm quite a bit heavier than your average rider and I tend to bend and break softer/lighter components. Durability of the wheel would be my main concern rather than trying to be a weight weeny, so a wheel build that won't bend and a hub that will put down plenty of miles are what I'm after. What combo is best going to suit needs like that?
Thanks. And good luck with this venture!
