Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

By my rough sums, more spokes just beats better angles in this case. The 28 spoke option will transmit the same torque with a 5% smaller shift in spoke tension.

BMMF is pretty light though. So thats a 5% increase the wheel could easily cope with.

But if your spoke tension is rim strength limited, and you're able to put 14% more tension on the 24 spokes that would give you more margin against spokes going slack under torque, and make that the better choice.

I doubt rim tension budgets really are constant though. It has to be harder for a rim to withstand more concentrated forces, so you'll get less than 14% more tension with the reduction in spoke count, making the whole thing more of a toss-up.

I think the outcome is the same. If your weight, and component choice allow you to add 14% without stressing anything. Then cool. If not add spokes, or change components.
