This would be paired with a DT Swiss R460 rim, and I'd run 32 or 28mm tires on it. The purpose is randonneuring, and some of the roads around here are a little rough. I weigh 170lbs, maybe 175 occasionally.
Will I be okay with 28h, or should I spring for 32? I can find another retailer with the 32h version in stock, but mine is selling 'em for $30 less than other places. (Yes, I'm cheap.)
DT Swiss spokes (2.34 / 1.7 / 2.0 or 2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0) with brass nipples and properly stress relieved...you should be fine.
