I am looking to build another set of wheels for fun basically. Last time I used the regular velocity hubs they sell, I think they are maybe formula hubs, but what would be better? I build Velocity fusion front and O/C aerohead rear. THey have been great wheels and the hubs are fine no problems.

If I build another set going with some White Industry or Phil Woods/ Chris King what could I expect the difference to be. Not the weight issue just would these be a much better wheel. I am going with a 24 28 radial 3x on rear. Also what about Novatec Hubs or any others you can recommend.

Another thing the place I am buying from says the aero spokes are way overrated and a good DB spoke is better. I used DB but they seem to think DB spokes are a more solid wheel. Frankly I am incline be believe them just because my wheels now have never been trued, are fine after 3000 miles.

Dont use them myself but one thing flat bladed spokes do,
is give you a place to hold onto, and not wind up,
rather than increase tension.. as you turn the nip.
being sparse on Numbers won't the tension need to go up, per spoke..?

I only drop the spoke count as the diameter goes down on the rim..
