(no one responded so I posting to a new thread you can shoot me now:-))
I broke a spoke the other day on the front wheel which is from my commuter bike and is a low flange 36spoke wheel with Sun CR16 rims(the back wheel is a Shimano Tandem hub 48spokes to Dyiad rim), so was looking into mybe a different set for some speed.
OK I am thinking something like this, a cheap light wheelset, would this work---------
XT Hubs(can they be spaced to 145mm?(disc-they have a high flange) 36spokes that are single butted 2.3 to 2.0 to Velocity Deep V rims, how about that? Seems to be pretty light and should have good speed and the 2.3-2.0 spoke looks strong for tandems.
our weight is 320lbs bike about 30 so 350lbs.
