Possibly covering old territory here but I'm struggling to spec a new wheel set.
Use: Fixed – Mostly for everyday street riding. Needs a braking surface. Would prefer lower profile rather than deep aero rims and also low flange hubs – ideally.
My weight is around 69 or 70kg and I'm not a heavy rider i.e. I've not snapped a spoke or bent a wheel in normal riding.
So, with that in mind I'm considering DT RR440 rims, DT revolution spokes (I've used them in MTB wheel builds and like them)
Should I stick to a standard 32h 3 cross build or try for a 24 or 28h front, 32h rear. And hubs - what hubs? I'm not a tart brand wise - like function first, then form.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
