I was wondering what you guys would suggest.
I've been doing some powerlifting over the winter and now my weight creeped up to nearly 240lbs from my riding weight of 222lbs of last season.
My research has led me to the following:
A Mavic Deep dish rim (30mm or close)
A DT Swiss 240 Hub
32 spokes (I would consider 36 if you can recommend a lightweight brand)
What do you guys think of this. If you can recommend better, please chime in.
I'm roughly a 240lb rider who can bang out a Century in 5:45; sprint like a monster, but my climbing needs work. I think that excessive wheel flex was holding me back on climbs. I currently have Bontrager 24 spoke SSR rims and would like to chuck them for my serious rides.
