im will be rebuilding my track wheel soon, and am trying to decide between 2x and 3x for it.
bc its a track wheel all the braking forces originate at the hub, which will transmit the forces to the spoke to the rim, to the ground.
for this reason im leaning towards a 3x, but aesthetically i really want to build a 2x wheel. anyone built a 2x rear track wheel before? ill probably end up building the proven 3x, but i think a 2x would look nice paired with the 1x front i already built.
