28H or 32H front wheel?
Looking to build up a wheelset from some older Chris King classic hubs I have idle. I actually have both 28 and 32 hole front hubs. I am asking for some considerations for both 28 and 32 hole builds. Obviously weight will be slightly less in the 28H wheel but is there any things I need to think about in lacing a 28H wheel. Right now I use a Ritchey WCS OCS 24/28 which I really don’t mind, doesn’t seem flexy to me. The rear hubs is making funny noises though and am looking to put the wheels as backups. My weight is 155-165lbs so I am not heavy. I ride primarily mountain so pardon my ignorance.
Any thoughts from wheel builders?
Thoughts on rims? Kinlin, Mavic. Looking for the classic silver look.
