Dec 15/Jan 16 , ACA Magazine runs a revue too
I'm still OK with the 26" wheel . But 29ers are the new thing.. You can always fit a more normal 37~40 wide 700c tire on that rim.
or being disc Brakes build 26" wheels.. (with the BB height Drop considered.)
My 700c - 40 touring wheels , I built Rear 48 spoke, front a 40, it proved reliable, only replaced 1 spoke while touring .. in 10 years time.
My 28 spoke wheels are 16" on my Brompton .. I have 32 spoke wheels on my Bike friday , 406_20" and My Rohloff 26" wheel Bike . (a 36 hole optional Now)
