  I'm happy for 650c to be the hill that I die on, just hopefully not from a broken spoke on the way down...
  When you say the Ventos don't use normal hubs and spokes though, what do you mean?

  Need some advice from a more experienced wheel builder than me on whether this is dumb or not...
  I want to build these rims as a fixed wheelset, but have only heard bad things about having 16 spokes on a rear wheel, especially fixed.
  I'm pretty light, and the rims look strong, but what are the odds of dying by pothole on a wheelset like this?

  And the only set of 16h track hubs I could find
