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)

I'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.
Aside 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 options :noidea:
Yeah that was me being stupid. I'm home sick with covid so it might just be the fever talking.

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?
32h vs 28h is my same dilemma for deep 650b rims for tt delivery e-bike
I ended up opting for the DT Hubs 32h and bough 12mm endcaps for the front. Has been bulletproof so far.
