HRider.. if I may ask... what weight range are you?
I'm 238 ish btw. But I am on 24H rims.. albeit 26".. that rear triplet lacing.
I'm about 150 and ride two sets of wheels routinely, both 700c with 700x23 tires. One set is built using 32H CXP33 rims laced 3x with DT 2.0/1.8/2.0 spokes. The second is a pair of Shimano WH-R560 prebuilt wheels with 24 mm deep rims laced 16H radial in front and 20H, radial DS, 2X NDS, both with bladed spokes.
