Hi All,
Building a new set of wheels
-These will be my every day and race wheels (2x a week off road, less than 7 races a year)
-135lbs
-Vbrakes
-32hole hub (GT-Hadley)
-XC racing - rocky/rooty XC riding
-steel hardtail
-2x Wheelsmith XL14 on non-drive side, 3x Wheelsmith DB14 drive side
Looking at Mavic x517 and velocity synergy. The rear Synergy is asymetrical with an offset spoke bed of 4.
do you think for my weight and type of riding that I'd want to consider an asymmetrical rear rim ?
