Bullitt build - seeking wheel advice
The Bullitt has a 20" front wheel and a 26" rear. I'd like something durable (duh) and not toooo expensive. I'm thinking about having my local bike shop build some wheels for me but its hard to figure out what rims and hubs I should go with.

CycleMonkey (North American Rohloff importer) claims it is the strongest wheel they offer with Rohloff. (That will fit in the the Bullitt) Sry, I can't post links as a newbie 8^D . |
And... apparently I cannot PM as a newbie either :( |
FWIW , Seattle's Aaron Goss drilled 16 more holes into a 32 hole Rohloff hub and laces it to a 48 hole rim.
the extra spokes, radial, so pattern is 'crow's foot' 2 cross and the radial between them .. Now there is a flange reinforcing ring that can be added, in wheel building, strengthening it.. more.. ... |
