32h or 36h?

better safe than sorry though, maybe one of these

Tango, I weigh a lean/toned/muscular/tanned 80ish kilos... I use 32's and they are fine.
Good job I'm in Bristol then, as there wouldn't be enough room for the two of us in London.

With the 36's I wouldn't have to get the nipple clamps wrench out as much, but it does seem overkill...

Also, sorry for the repost.

So my conclusion on this was either was fine, it depends on what hubs/rims you want. The rims I wanted only came in 36h, so 36h I was what I got.

If you have the choice though, you are talking about a tiny tiny increase in weight for a little bit of added strength, so why not. I'd also happily go with slightly lighter rims/hubs with 36h because of that slightly increased strength. Swing and roundabouts, innit.

number of spokes is not important, wheelbuild are.

The fact that the rear wheel is undished, and therefore has even spoke tension, more than compensates for 4 spokes.

You sound like a chubby kind of guy, so I'd go for 36h ; )

I want to tango it down...

Thanks Mr Merger

Pffft, you like to live risky, do you? Try this:

Thats a lot of holes in those hubs/rims, cant be safe.

Tbh it doesn't matter which as long as its been built properly, I use 30 year old 28h and have no problems with them at all.

I'll give you the chance to rewrite that.

I am an expert wheelbuilder. People marvel at the strength of my 4 spoke wheels (radial obviously)
