what is recommended in the budget range (about AU$220 for a front and
rear wheelset)
Unless the rim you have now has developed flat spots, stick to it and
just have the wheel re-spoked and re-built. Use double-butted spokes
(these are thick on the ends and thinner in the middle), and go to a
wheel builder of good reputation, who must have a spoke tensiometer.
Broken spokes that fatigue do so because they have been inadequately
tensioned.
Quoted message said:Should I stay with 36 hole?
It's a good number.
Quoted message said:The current wheels are Weinmmann 520 alloy rims on Alloy Parallax
cassette hub,
There is nothing wrong with these, especially since you've only done
2000 kms on them. Save your money for bling-blings.
