I use the number of spokes the hub dictates.
Standard classic wheel - around riding without worrying about truing = 36 spokes is best for my 190unaerodynamicpounds
Lighter weight classic wheelset = 32
classic tandem wheelset = Phil w/ 40 spokes.to extra sturdy rims
But isn't 32+ spokes kinda mute
I thought everyone was running 20/24/28 spoke wheels in mid&high level road bikes. And the Urban category.
edit: is this the mtb forum?
