Agreed. I had the audacity to actually ASK on this board whether a
claim that 32 was stronger was true or not. I just can't see why you
would use a 32 spoked wheel if weight and aerodynamics were of no
concern -- if the top concern is strength, why wouldnt you buy the 4
extra spokes?
But ... my post about Colo Cyclist was less supposed to preach what
kind of wheels to buy, and more about a) Colo Cyclist did me right...
and b) What I bought, for how much, and why.
I thought the whole point of this board was to share knowledge and
information.
