You don't like what I have to say, so you critique my spelling/grammar.:rolleyes::lol:

Like I said earlier, there's no point in arguing with you.

you seem to think that spoke tension effects wheel stiffness. Now I have to say that your wheelbuilding knowledge is dubious.

A pneumatic tire will not effect the flexibility of a wheelset, but that isn't what I thought you were talking about.

spoke count and their gauge will effect wheel stiffness, but spoke tension will not(unless completely slack). When building wheels they are tensioned to about the maximum recommended by the...

Yes, you are correct.

They offer 14g, 15g, or a 14/15DB spoke. They might offer something new, but I don't recall anything else.

Thank you. I was not trying to belittle your experience with the A23, just saying 3k miles says little about long term durability of the hoop.

what about my experience with the A23?

My opinion, based on my actual experience with the hoop, is that it's flimsy(not stiff), not what I'd call lightweight, and it's not particularly cheap. I...

I stated that the A23 is not flimsy(not stiff), and that 3k miles is not long enough to determine durability. Both of those are facts.

The facts are A23s are not a particularly stiff hoop, and 3000k miles is hardly long enough to judge a wheelset's long-term durability.

I never said they were crap, just that there are better...

FIFY

3k miles is not long enough to judge a wheelset's long-term durability. That's not even 3 months of use.

I replaced my A23 hoops after 4 months(almost 5k miles) because they were neither lightweight or stiff(or tubeless at that time), and there was noticeable brake pulse.

I had no durability issues...

True, but it doesn't change the fact that the A23 is a bit flimsy, and there are other hoops that would work better.

What hoops did you go with?

The White Industries hubs are great, but those are some flimsy hoops. I'd go with Hed C2 or Pacenti SL23 hoops. If your budget is tight, Kinlin xc279 is a nice alternative.
