I'm probably going to build up a fixed gear wheel using an ENO hub and a deep V rim, so I'm leaning for a road set too just so I can use the same front wheel.

P.S. I'm thinking 36 revolutions on the front and the rear will get 36 competition spokes.


How heavy are you? Deep V rims are incredibly strong due to their cross section so chances are, you wont need 36h. And for a rear you might look at Wheelsmith spokes too, the 2.0/1.7/2.0mm ones. I am running those for my driveside rear on my XC rig, so far i have been satisfied
