I just put up a post about wheel builders in the LA area, but I figured you might want to know what I'm planning on having made. Based upon recommendations here, reading Jan Heine's article on 15% tire drop c/o Lennard Zinn, my weight (200lbs w/gear), my bike weight (20 lbs), my avg speed (15 mph), and terrain (San Gabriel Valley Foothills), I decided upon this.
28 hole DT Swiss 240s radial front
32 hole DT Swiss 240s 3x rear (maybe 1x/2x non-drive but not sure it really matters)
Velocity A23 rims
aluminum nipples (not sure brand matters here) probably red
DT Revolution spokes
I was hoping to take my time to build them up myself but that really isn't going to happen now. Let me know if you have any other recommendation. Thanks again for all the posts. They have been very helpful.:thumbsup:
