I was mostly calling BS on the 32+32=harsh comment. We all know spoke count isn't nearly as critical as people make it out to be. Yeah, you can cut weight on the front wheel more easily, but going down to 24h is a pretty drastic cut. Weight distribution isn't 50-50 front and back obviously, but it's not 25-75 either.

I still recommend 32 and 32 laced 3x on both because finding hubs and rims is the easiest, building (or having them built) is easy, and it looks good.
