There is often the feeling that front wheels don’t have to be as strong as rear wheels and the tire pressure in the front can be lower than tire pressure in the rear because the rear wheel carries more weight. I get that, but my front wheels really get whacked sometimes when I don’t see a pot hole or some other nasty in the road. When braking or going down a hill, the weight shifts forward as well. Coming down a hill on a gravel road I often run into the issue that the road suddenly deteriorates rapidly. Therefore I run the same tire pressure front and back and the same number of spokes in both wheels. But, I admit, I may be overthinking this.
