I am planning to have a 2006 Record hubset built up by LBS. This wheelset
will be used by a 210-220 lb rider. Additionally, I am planning to have a
2006 Chris King hubset built up by LBS. This wheelset will be ridden by a
130 lb woman. All hubs are 32 hole drilling.
The LBS suggested the following for the lighter weight rider (Chris
King). DT Swiss RR 1.1 rim 3x laced with double butted Wheelsmith or
DTspokes. Brass nipples. Single or double eyelets were not discussed, but
the 1.1 has both available.
For the heavier rider the LBS suggested the following for the heavier
rider.(2006 Record) DT Swiss RR 1.2 rim 3x laced with double butted
Wheelsmith or DTspokes. Brass nipples.
My questions are concerning the rim choice. Anyone using these rims? Are
there better choices for the rims. I have ridden both Velocity Aerohead
and Mavic Open Pro rims without issues. Perhaps Deep V's or CXP33 are
better choice? The builder stated that he would build with any of these
rims but suggested the DT as being the best in quality control.
The hubs are already in the parts box so I am not looking for advice on
fewer or more spokes etc. I am looking to maximize quality of the build
based on rim selection. Most riding is done on gently rolling hills. Avg
miles 30-50. Some centuries etc. Wheel weight is not as big a concern as
durability.
Relevant rider/ wheelbuilder replies would be greatly appreciated.
