Hopefully i got the topic header right and no ones going to grot me for it….
So ive just bought some nice polished alloy campagnolo hubs, they look cool in a retro kind of way. They are both drilled for 32 spokes so will build into a higher spoked wheel than most factory options out there.
Question is that i can’t decide whether it would be better to build them onto a tubular or clincher rim, and whether i should go carbon or not. Im living in NZ in hilly/windy auckland, it like the idea of deep section rims but not sure how practical they are for everyday road riding.
With a high spoked wheel am i better to go for building aero wheels or for a light hill climbing wheel. Also has anyone experience of the safety of the new chinese carbon clinchers for heat build up?
