Hey guys,
Well im onto my 3rd set of wheels. Cracked spoke holes on Bontrager select, Mavic Aksiums now Zipp Team CSC's!
To be honest with you all im over it. I ride to loose weight as im a heavy football player. I suffered from knee problems due to football and cycling has cured it, so ive caught the bug.
Being a clydesdale i didnt think id crack the Zipp being a 32 rear but i have. Very disapointing.
So I wish to build a set.
1: DT 1.2 Rims (32/32) with DT 240s hubs with DT comp or aerolite spokes. (Which spoke is better for me?)
2. DT 1.2 Rims (32/32) with Chris King Classic hubs with DT comp or aerolites.
Have considered Mavic Open Pros but Mavic are having issues in Australia right now.
My local expert wheelbuilder also recommended White Industries hubs, but i havent really heard of them and are therefore a bit sceptical.
What i want is a wheelset that is tough and easy to maintain. I love working on my bike and go to the bike shop for major things.
Chris King for a tough, easy road hub? How are they? Do you guys love them?
DT240s. I see a few pro teams use them (Astana etc) so they must be darn good. What are you thoughts?
Guys go nuts, spill you souls to me on this one!
