Sorry ive been out of good away from decent Internet for the last few days... posting this with my phone on edge network doh.... Thank you all for your posts

Any use of 32c would be for around town unloaded or minimal load like going to get a few grocery ... currently I'm running what I pulled off my 29er it's a deore lvl hub 32h with bontrager duster rims... nice and wide 28mm but I broke a spoke... i planned on upgrading to something stronger for loaded touring.... The bontrager is a nice mtb rim but loaded and my weight I want something stronger.

For 40h hubs... velocity has one at 2x the price of the XT hub... i know the extra spokes would be ideal but I can't justify it right now... If I find myself doing more loaded touring down the road... i had a set of hope hubs laced to delgadoX 36h that I abused on the trail for years without a hick up so I feel 36h with a stronger rim should do me well on the road even with a bit of a load

I may well build a wheel on the dh13 spokes with the rhyno lite rim... will do some more research when I get home


Thanks for the input guys.. But this is all I can stand to thumb out on my phone haha
