I'm building up a "new" wheelset for my 70's Di Lorenzo frame and fork (currently out to be chromed), and I'd like to know if anyone has experience/opinions re. whether these will be strong enough. These are nice hubs and rims, but I'd hate to crack them.
The wheelset plan is as follows:
36h Weyless Hubs
Super Champion Medaille D'Or rims - I think. They had only remnants of the model stickers on them, so I'm going by weight.
Dt Swiss Competition 15g double butted spokes laced 3X front and rear. I have considered using a 14g in the rear.
I haven't found a lot of info on the Weyless hubs (which will be getting replacement stripes btw) but what I have found implies they're for lighter riders. I weigh about 170-180lbs. I'd say I'm on the smoother side as a rider, but I do stand and mash on occasion. The frame is 58cm square, full Columbus SL. This bike won't be ridden a ton, but it will be ridden and I don't want to be overly worried every time I roll out.
So what do you think?
