I am still intrigued by the idea of rebuilding them as 2x. Making a slight trade of radial stiffness for lateral stiffness makes a lot of sense for race wheels, particularly for crits.
Interesting. What kind of hubs & axles are on those wheels?
BTW, I'm a bigger guy that I rides 2X laced front wheels and likes them.
Thanks to those contributing to make this such a good thread!
