That's pretty much what I figured.. but had to ask ;)

Is there a preferred spoke count for city riding? My LBS said they would never put out a 28h wheel because it wouldn't hold up in the city...

Thanks for the links! I had been looking at those wheels.. Wouldn't I need a flip flop hub to ride single speed though?

I already know it will cost more with an lbs. That's fine and its really not the point of this thread. At this point I'm well aware of your feelings about lbs's ;)
