First ever wheel build. I'm getting some Deep Vs and Formula hubs (unless you got better suggestions for hubs for a fun/commuter bike).

Anyway, since Deep Vs are strong, could I use less spokes? Any spoke count suggestions? I'm 160 lbs and have always used 32-spoke wheels and have not had any problems. I'd like to get away with less if I could. How about just using less spokes on the front since there's not much weight over there anyway? Radial lacing on the front a good idea?

Sorry if these are dumb ?s. I don't know jack yet. Thanks!
