36h vs. 32h wheelsets
Right now I'm putting together my LHT project, and I'm curious how many people run a 32h wheelset on a touring bike? I'm under the impression that a 36h is a "worry-free standard" in the eyes of the average bike tourist. What I'm wondering is how well a 32h setup will work for me. I'm about 165 lbs, so I'm not a huge guy, but I do intend to run a full load on the bike for alot of the riding I plan to do. Wheelsets I've been considering are, Velocity Dyad w/deore XT hubs, or Mavic open pro with the same hubs. I probably won't have more than a 50lb load on there, so total weight would be ~220lbs, which is close to the weight ratings for riders of the 32h wheels. Input?
