  • 36 rear 32 or 36 front.

  • I'm light but I've got 36h front and back

    I'll bin the extra spokes when they fix the road

  • the wieight difference between 36h and 32 holes i would say is not really worth it
    go for the 36h it builds a stronger wheel

  • I went for 36 hole as a) that's what the first hub I got was, and b) no harm in a little extra strength I thought.

  • :) Irish Langster style eh

    It was an attempt to disprove the old adage "you can't polish a turd" =P

  • 4 extra spokes
    4 extra nipples ( never a bad thing )
    and
    8 less holes ( rim and hub )

    wouldn't they balance themselves out weight difference = next to nothing

  • I'm finally back on track to build my fixed gear (having got sidetracked by buying a carbon road bike last summer) The problem is as stated in the title, which option would be best for the rear wheel? I'm going to run a zenith hub on a mavic open pro, and as there is no price difference between 32/36 would it be better to opt for the more bombproof 36?

  • choose whichever you want and tango it down.

  • 32H looks better.

    You're gonna get flamed as this has been discussed at least once before.

  • Best go for 36's.... in case of bombs.

  • Or riding through minefields.

  • 36h - it just feels right
    esp for londons famous london potholes.... and the flames

  • Too many pies, overandout?

  • ^^yep, you should see me these days

  • you were so svelte...

  • these days Im all ass and chins

  • What about some 48s then?

  • They are fucking asteriod collision proof.

  • a really big asteroid, like...

  • or a really big ass/ chin combo

  • best get 58's then...

    Tango, I weigh a lean/toned/muscular/tanned 80ish kilos... I use 32's and they are fine.

  • but dynamite will fuck them up...

  • as will an over indulgance in pies...

  • ^^yep, you should see me these days
    ha! i almost didn't recognise you on saturday btw.

  • overandpigout innit ;-)
