I’m still reading, but am away on a work related trip for two weeks. I’m soaking in the feedback and appreciate the responses.

I will be going 36 spoke count.

Which hubs and rims are the next question. I was relieved to hear that TiHabanero near my weight was still using the original sealed bearing hubs. I really like the hubs too, but am open to a newer hubset. It’s really the rims that are the biggest decision at this point, and whether or not I want to pressure the tubeless route.
