I'm trying to spec a PT Pro wheel. Here's what I have so far.
PT Pro
Rim - Velocity Deep V Rim
Spokes - Sapim Race Double butted
Spoke Count - 28
Spoke Pattern - 3 cross
Some background and questions. My weight averages in the upper 160's low 170's, could I go with a 24 count Deep V rim or should I stick with the 28?
Does the Deep V have enough aero benefits to justify the weight or should I go with something like aerohead or open pro rim and 32 spokes? I can't afford the zipp or hed route for a true aero rim.
Is there any benefit to a 2 cross pattern vs the 3 cross pattern?
This wheel will be used for training and racing. I plan on getting a wheel cover for time trials and duathlons.
Thanks,
greg
