Hey guys,

I'm finally getting ready to order everything for my Litespeed (long story) and now am faced with a big decision. What count spokes to do.

I was thinking 32h 3x rear, 28h 2x front, but think I may be overbuilding them for my 165ish (and dropping) pounds. Would 28h 3x rear, 24h 2x front be enough for me? I'm looking for pretty bomb-proof wheels (hence the 32/28), but think that 28/24 would hold okay. My current bike has cheap wheels that are 28 3x/24 radial and have held up with only minor issues over the last 6 years (but only about 7 or 8 thousand miles). I'm hoping to have these wheels for a long time and I don't really race.

What say ye, 41? Especially wheel builders.

And since it's going to be asked, looking at A23 rims with ST Swiss 240s hubs.
