Since reading Joe Kubera's wheel building thread, I thought I'd ask the experts here about
wheels for me.
I have a set of 2002 Record hubs and a set of Ambrosio Excellight rims (32 hole and not all that
light...pretty comp. to a Mavic Open Pro). I weigh 130 lbs. and am real easy on wheels. I was
thinking of doing 14/15 rear and
15/16 front, 3x. Any reason not to go 15/16 in the rear as well and maybe a different lacing
pattern? And heretic of heretics, I've always used alloy nipples with no problems whatsoever, so
I will probably stay with them.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Cat
