Strong competitive riding?
Do you prefer endurance or lightweight?
Had wheels fail in the past?
Previously ridden wheels?
Did you like them or is there something you like to improve?
Thanks for these questions.
Not competitive at all. Done ftp test on a trainer at about 200w
Yes j bend hubs, yes 20/24
Prefer lightweight, yet stiff and preferably with a wide inner width and a reliable braking surface in the wet. At this point im open to any advice/build suggestions
No wheels have failed, but I have suspected loose spokes when riding over potholes. Heard a clank as I went over but spokes felt fine to the touch. I pressed them and they seemed well torsioned but I have no clue what they should feel like.
I'd say I like light, wide rims, ideally with an alloy brake track. The Tune TSR 35 seems like a great choice, but I'm bent on having a go at wheel building with these dt350s that came with the syncros.
Ridden:
Chinese carbon laced to bitex r13 hubs, loved the price and the weight. Sold eventually as I felt that the braking in wet weather does not inspire confidence
dt460 laced to novatec hubs, liked the wide 17/18 inner rim width. Rims felt stiff. Was my daily wheel before I sold them to buy the heds
Hed Ardennes plus, absolutely loving the weight and the wide rims, but brake tracks look like they might be wearing out soon
Also tried the fulcrum zeros for one ride. hubs were really smooth and wheels were stiff and responsive.
As an aside, any good ideas with what to do with the spare spokes and rims?
