thing is that the rohloff mandates a 32h rim in the back. i'm thinking of using a 32 hole rim up front so if the rear goes awry I would at least have the option of swapping the front and back rims to get me going.
Do you reckon the 32h front wheel will be strong enough?
I'm having a slow morning here after a late night so forgive for not following your logic.
Tell me, if you cactus either of your rims (front or rear) your sans said wheel.
Dismantling your other wheel isn't going to change this.
I'm a fan of 36H minimum for my bikes but different people roll with their own preference.
