advice please.
for my next wheel build I would like to build an higher spec wheel than my 2 previous practice builds so starting with the hubs are dura ace 9000 the best value hub in the £200 bracket. wheels will be used for sportive type rides. would a sealed bearing option be better than than cup and cone? -
need to rebuild the stock rear wheel that came with my giant defy. it was built with 3x over on the drivers side and laterial on the none drivers side, all my other wheels are the same DS and NDS, would you rebuild as original or both sides 3x over. what are the advantages or disadvantages of either option please?

Any diagnosis advice on my rear wheel failure
mavic open sport rim 32 hole on tiagra hub bought before xmas and as completed a few hundred my on my turbo. Used it on the road for the first time yesterday when a drive side spoke snapped after 45 miles ( when ive had snapped spokes before(different wheels) its always on the bend of the spoke at the hub) this was halfway up the spoke ?? where it crossed another spoke.Never built a wheel before but ive replaced spokes with a direct replacement and tensioning as needed but on this wheel
I had to increase the tension on all the non drive side spokes to pull the wheel back in.
Did loose NDS spokes cause the failure or did riding 5 miles with the buckled wheel cause the spokes to work lose or was the broken spoke probably over tight -
must have 130mm rear spacing
top tube length approx. 57 cm
more interested in obscure builders but frame must be from quality steel
maximum budget 400 notes
