Good call. I'm sure the wheelset plays into this. 32 hole Dura Ace hubset with CXP33s with a beautiful set of Jack Brown Greens not pumped up too hard. Absolutely. When I look down at the front wheel when out of the sadde (just for a second!), I can see the tire compressing, etc. The spokes sometimes creak. I should have gone with 36 holes, but here we are.....
I'm mostly talking about bottom bracket sway and resulting front derailler rub. Though not a huge deal, it can get annoying, and metal rubbing metal, unintended, is never really a good thing. I'm no stranger to bottom bracket failures...a Soma Doublecross failed at the bottom bracket once when I was much heavier (thank goodness for steel...I unknowingly rode all the way home on a cracked and deforming bottom bracket, noticing only occasional strange sounds and some chain rub on the derailler). The stouter tubeset and second top tube of the Bomba eliminate all of that funny business. I'm thinking the Hilsen might be the perfect balance.
