Question is: Can a wheel built with a good quality triangular section rim and 32 spokes have the same strength and longevity as a wheel built with a good quality box section rim and 36 spokes?
Components such as 105 quality hub, 2.0/1.8/2.0 stainless DB spokes.
36 spoke wheels seems to be out of favor, and I wonder if a modern 32 is just as good.
Many experts say they are better, I've been using 32° for decades, work great
