i need a fresh set of wheels for my roadie, for general day to day training use not racing, more or less whats worth looking for these days in terms of rims/hubs/spokes etc?
last set i built were more cx focused (i built them for the 3 peaks) but ended up on the roadbike and still ride great; ultegra hubs, mavic cpx33 rims and dt db spokes. i was also about 5stone heavier then!
i don’t want to spend heaps, more than likely i’ll go clinchers, not massively fussed about super low weights, quite fancy some hope hubs or maybe hunt around for some deals (new or used) on dura ace hubs, but really looking for suggestions especially on spokes, spoke count (quite like the ideal of a radial laced front as i’ve never built one), rims etc (mavic open pro, something more aero… how about chinese carbon 50mm?).
