I have some doubts but in general:
- Wheels: LB WR45
- Tire: 28mm Continental GP5K
- Hub: I will get the DT Swiss 350
- Cassete: I have doubts between Shimano Ultegra CS-6700 10s (11-28) and Sram PG-1070 10s (11-28). --> Any recommendation?
- I have clear that I will need the free hub body for the cassete.
- What about the Front and Rear Holes? What is this about?
- Ratchet: I will get the 54T.

What do you think about this set up? Any further advise?

Thanks a lot!
The choices all look reasonable. The front and rear holes is how many spokes you'll have. Not all hubs will have all spoke-hole options, but the options available will appear when you select the hub. You'll have to decide how many front spokes and how many rear spokes, which will depend a lot on how much you weigh. I'm heavy, if you're not then my opinion won't mean much. As far as the cassettes go, my drive train is Shimano so I use Shimano parts. Cuts down on the thinking. :-) I have no idea if you'd have different spacing requirements if you tried to mix Sram cassettes with Shimano drivetrain, but you could Google that up and get your answer.
