All suggestions welcomed.
Thanks again.
Looks are not the main point. At 210# I think, you might be heavier than recommended for some lighter designs, especially if you are hard on things. The traditional 32 or 36 spoke designs can be really durable, and rolling well pretty much is a given.
At 185#, my builder thought I was marginal for using 32 Sapim CXray spokes, for example.
