Maybe he was for others, I can't disagree. But for me he was not. I don't have any problem with that, but I don't like people who are not polite with other members just because some are "the best" in the filed. Behind every wheel there is a human...
I am a fair guy. I always appreciate peoples help, not only for me, for others members too. I am very helpful in my domain(s) too, I make no difference. I expected the same. If not, it's fine. Like I said, some people are nicer, some people don't. It's a big world. -
Oh, a very touchy answer. I was close enough...kinda expected this type of kindness from you. I am on forums for a long time, more than 2009, I saw a lot of different people, a few like you, only pride and glory. There is always a "we-us-our", but you forget that it's only about you. Fighting online with people like you, who are very strong behind the keyboard, might only one thing. But you've got my point.
I am admin/moderator/member for a few forums, but who cares. I respect people from other forums/countries/facebook groups/newbies/dumb or maybe more or less technical people, no matter what. And I always help, even some people are really newbie/dumb/you name it...we all started from somewhere. But you forget that, isn't it?
Maybe I am from "2007", like you said, but I don't have memory problems. The only answer I've got from you was about SL hubs are tested. No explications. I never buy something without understand what that product do. If I wanted this kind of help I could buy some wheels set and that's it. But I always care about what I bought.
Need an example for better understanding?
"Hey, matte, what you think about Mazda?"
"Buy it!"
"Yes, master!"Last though. "we-us-our", there is some people who answered to my questions. Very well appreciated! But not from you. Anyway "I was actually really nice", no offence taken, but nice bullshit, well served. 1 point for you. Happy now?
Maybe I am wrong, no harm intended. I am a very peaceful guy, also fair and I don't need to be spoon fed. A lot of stress, my father it's in coma, sick, and my country is close to another revolution because politically sh*t . I come in here just to keep the mind occupied with something nicer and finish this project.
Like I said, if you don't wanna help, no offense taken. Some people are nicer, some people don't. Thanks again!

Hey, man, I have asked kindly for some help. If you don't want to help, I will be fine.
Also, if you notice, I put some serious questions few days ago, but nobody answered, even I ask you about it. I have asked about hubs, x2 or x3 also, 32 or 28 spokes, etc...Maybe my English is not very good, also I am not so technical like you; I've said before, this is my 1st project.
So I don't think you must be rude and using fucking word was really necessarily. If you have any problem because I am from another country, just let me know. Thanks!

Can you point any model from DT and Kinlin?
What lacing do you recommend for a street bike and 28 spokes, both wheels? I have 73kg, thinking about a radial lacing.
-
Thanks for advice!
I was thinking to give a try from 32/32 to a 28/28, with H+Son, but I hold until I understand much better what you've said "Also you need to up the spoke count, use a stiffer rim e.t.c to compensate for the loss of stiffness over using race spokes."
Also, I would love to have both wheels identical, just for a aesthetically feeling. Could be radial a choice?
I made some homework lately and just a note only - I read that D-light spokes usually are for disk brakes.
About nipples, my Specialized FSR Elite (DTSwiss wheels) and gf's 29er Specialized Jett Expert (Scout wheels), both are using red nipples. I think those are alloy. Mtbs' are getting a lot of water, dirt, shocks, crashes, etc. and I was thinking that red nipples, even alloy, will be fine for a city bike too. I didn't find any brass red nipples at the moment (I found some no name brass on Aliexpress, but I would not risk to buy from there) -
Super, I will go with Novatec. Just a curiosity, why are those spokes pointless? I try to learn/curiosity only. Too thin? Thanks!
-
Any thoughts about Novatec A186sbt/A185sbt, rear/front, 32h? I was thinking about Laser/D-light, 3x, 12mm nipples. Can I go wrong with this?
-
Hmm, punctures, usually. On my road bike last year...like none. Lucky me. Cleaning...once or twice a month, maybe. But it should make my life easier, not harder. So I must know from the beginning all this disco dance details before entering in the fuss zone .

Thanks! I will ask a mechanic too, if I could manage these Campa's Skeleton or not, just to be sure.
If not, another options? Also, I can change the pads if is a must.
