afaik the Velocity Aerohead OC is only available in 28h and higher. if this is a training wheelset, just go with 32h on the rear. I do not think that a 24h rear aerohead (OC or not) would be suitable for your weight. a 24h deep v, yes. people make race wheels out of Powertap hubs by lacing them to Zipp rims or similar, and I can see the point, but I don't think that's cost-effective for most people.Kerry Irons said:
I was not aware that DT made a 24h rim; it's probably light, skimpy, and expensive, but will work well regardless. Your other options are thus: Sun, Ritchey (including an OCR, I think), IRD (lightest by far), and Velocity. I've built on Sun (ME14) and Ritchey (Aerosumpthinorother), and know several skinny blokes who ride IRD Cadence rims (395g!!) on their mtb 29ers.werdna said:
This is not a reason to "forget the Aeroheads." I've built several wheels with Aeroheads, and the fact that they have no eyelets is not an issue for either the build, performance, or durability. Now, the fact that they're not available in 24 (doh!) is a bigger problem2Fast2Furryious said:
Well... I originally said 28H DT or 24H Velocity, but now my options are more limited. PT SL hubs are way back-ordered so I'm getting what my LBS has in stock. So it will be a 32H hub. Now the question is: which rim for 32H? Velocity Aerohead OC? DT R1.1? OP?Kerry Irons said:This is not a reason to "forget the Aeroheads."

well, the standard aerohead is available in 24h. it would make a good front wheel for a light person.Kerry Irons said:This is not a reason to "forget the Aeroheads."
