Hey Scrod,

I'm looking to build a custom wheelset with Kinlin XR270 rims at Retrogression while I'm in SD to replace my 'veeps', and was wondering at 140lbs (on my way to 145-150) and commuting/street riding, would it be reasonable for me to have 20/28 for the spoke count? If not, what do you suggest? (24/28, 28/28, etc?)

The streets where I'm located are alright, (Davis) basically like this, except with a couple more cracks. Nothing too crazy.

Also, what's the difference between road front hubs and fixed gear front hubs? I found these road hubs that are pretty light (<100g), but fixed gear front hubs from novatec/miche/formula are a lot heavier(>220).

Thanks a ton!
