I'd like to hear opinions or experience from anyone out there on minimum spoke count for cx wheels. 20 front/24 rear seems to be a pretty common setup. Can you get away with fewer spokes on either wheel? Would more spokes be better?

Thanks in advance!

It depends on the rims.

I'm using a set of Reflexes w/ 28 on the front and they're staying amazingly true. And I ain't tiny.

You can get away with fewer spokes when there's no dish.

No way would I attempt that on teh rear wheel
