But even when I was racing and skinny, I wasn't a fan of low spoke-count wheels. Back then, my lightest wheels had 32 in the rear and 28 in the front. If I remember correctly, Campy and Dura-Ace hubs were available with 24 holes; so were the lightest tubular rims Mavic and some of the Italian companies made. I simply couldn't imagine anyone besides a time trialist needing such wheels.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-21339498707736752432016-12-14T04:48:56.996-08:002016-12-14T04:48:56.996-08:00You could use the Phil hub by skipping every other...You could use the Phil hub by skipping every other hole and building a 24 spoke wheel. I know some of your other readers were thinking the same thing, it's just that I'm a big enough dork to say it out loud. I would never dream of asking your weight (big no no for ladies) but as for me personally I'm too heavy for low spoke count wheels and I never trusted them(clydesdale 210lbs). However many people do quite well on them.Phillip Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553979458131339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-17849047314216916852016-12-13T14:12:35.391-08:002016-12-13T14:12:35.391-08:00Mike W.--The meaning of "scheduled" can ...Mike W.--The meaning of "scheduled" can be very elastic indeed!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-68749867398706178392016-12-13T06:27:57.853-08:002016-12-13T06:27:57.853-08:00Those Sansin hubs are very good. i have a NIB pair...Those Sansin hubs are very good. i have a NIB pair that're scheduled for a build this winter- of course, i've had 'em scheduled for over 30 years now. :-\<br /><br />We move a bit slow here at the bicycle works...mike w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10317710564489321690noreply@blogger.com
