how is weight distributed between wheels?
I have used touring wheelset with front 24h lightweight rim with rear 36h non-lightweight rim
(most of extra weight was on rear rack)
Alloy gravel wheel build during covid

I ended up opting for the DT Hubs 32h and bough 12mm endcaps for the front. Has been bulletproof so far.Raccooningtanuki wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 5:20 pm32h vs 28h is my same dilemma for deep 650b rims for tt delivery e-bikeBobbyAamand wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 2:01 pmYeah that was me being stupid. I'm home sick with covid so it might just be the fever talking.Karvalo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 1:23 pmAside from Covid supply issues why does that mean front hubs are limited? Any road disc hubs and the majority of MTB hubs will have 12x100 front optionsBobbyAamand wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 12:52 pmI'm going to build up 2 identical wheelsets for me and my friend for our new bikes. Both bikes comes with 12x100/142 so the front hub options are limited - especially during these times.
Actually I wanted to go 32h up front as well. But then the only readily available hub I can find is a 105. There are some 28h offerings at the same price point as the DT350 like the Novatec D791SB/A . I can only find the 350 available as a 28h.
For rims I wanted to go Kinlins, but Spa cycles dont ship to Europe anymore.
So actually my questions should be as following:
-Will the step down from 32h to 28h cause any major ceoncern for the front?
-Does the Hub and rim combo seem like a good idea? Or can you suggest something better for the same money?
