hi:
i wanna build a light and not too expensive front wheel. I´m gonna use this:
rim: sun ufo 28 holes
spokes: dt revolution 2.0-1.5-2.0 black
niplles: dt alu nipples black or dt pro lock alu black
hub: American classic road micro hub 28 spokes
A friend of mine has exactly the same hub but rebranded as bontranger and only 24spokes. The spokes are so high tensioned that the wheel is uñtra strong and stiff. He is a downhiller but uses this wheel on his gary fisher and he says that the wheel is bomb-probe. 2 years and no problem (and he broke the rear one and the frame
).
My question is this: As the ac micro hub is available in several drillings (32, 28, 24) and i´m 66kg and no big jumps (my sid is 6 years old and goes perfect) i´m thinking on going 24holes instead of 28:
which is the lightest mtb rim available at 24holes?
is there a rim available at 28 holes black lighter than sun ufo or with the same weight but cheaper?
thanks
