Just wanted some opinions on wheels,
been playing polo for a bit and my trusty 26in wheels that came with my polo beater never stay true.
Never really bothered me but having switched to front brake an untrue rim is sketchy when applying the anchors. So been looking for a new wheels set and the best I could really see available to me was these.

But at 36 spoke I am going to still need covers which isn't really too bad but wondering if they will take the same punishment as a 48 spoke set.
I want to keep on 26s as I feel nicer being a little closer to the ball and the shorter wheelbase. So is it worth going the extra to build up a 48 spoke over 36?
