I don't remember who mentioned low spoke count wheels but our tandem has 20°F and 24°R.

Boo hoo, but it's nice being able look up and not having the natural discs above and below destroyed by fusions.

I recall my first "real" road bike had 32H F/R which I thought was hot stuff compared to the default 36H.

We did stage race our tandem a couple times and used 36° road wheels. They only made it through about 5 races each and when they broke, they broke 3-4 spokes at a time. Luckily, we never crashed but a wheel did collapse just past the line of a TT once.
