Even more sturdy 40 and 48 spoke wheels.. , but 36 is common enough ..

If you dont go in for expensive parts to build something super nice..

you can always just buy a replacement wheel mid trip if you crash or are hit,
and abandon the damaged one..

Most shops are going to take a while to rebuild a new rim on your $300. ish hub,

And you may need to stay in a hotel until its repaired.


or mail your super nice hub home. & still use the off the peg wheel in the shop.
