  • 28 or 32 spoke wheels for CX?

    Looking at getting some Stans Grail rims on Hope Pro2 Evo hubs for the CX bike. To be used for a mixture of road/off road riding. Nothing too hard core off road though. Is a 28 spoke build good enough or should I go for 32? I weigh about 82kg if that is a factor.

    Opinions?

    32, stronger, you won’t notice the weight gain.

    I’d say 28 would be ok.
    I’ve done some fairly serious off-roading on my GT Grade on 28h Alex rims with no issues at all & the top-end Grades spec Grails, so I’m sure they’re up to the job.
    (I’m a bit lighter than 82kg, but not a lot. 😉 )

    28 will probably be ok though.
