higher spoke count with lighter spokes and lighter rim makes for a lighter wheel.
but that's when cost starts going up quick. I'm not spending $3 a spoke for 64 spokes!
Kinlin xr200's have definitely crossed my mind, but I am afraid to run them at 245lbs. I'll be running 32 spokes in the rear, but I've been thinking I might try 28 or 24 in the front.
might go with xr300s...

But if you are looking for really lightweight track hubs (and do not mind waiting a few months), check

where can you find the low flange novatecs?'
and the macks look nice but I'm budgeting myself at $300 for the entire wheelset
