So the rim it comes with is 32.

Surly My Other Brother Darryl, 80mm w/speedholes


That specific rim on their website I believe says you can change it to 64 spoke? Is that correct and should I do it?

It says the bike comes with this rim: https://surlybikes.com/parts/rims/my...brother_darryl
It says dual (64), since I am a big guy, do I want to just do that up front?

So is there any reason I shouldn't just buy one of these to start and then switch to something better? I mainly will be doing road riding with my kids and then hopefully drop some weight over time and then be able to get a different bike.
