first, i would try to find a cassette rear hub rather than a freewheel hub. i use modern shimano 9 speed hubs and have on occassion removed the 8/9 speed freehub in favor of a 7 speed freehub. using a 135mm axel in conjunction with a 7 speed freehub greatly reduces dish and adds to wheel strength...as will an asym rear rim
a double butted 2.0/1.8 spoke is a good compromise between strength/lightness. i also have used straight gauge 2.0 spokes on touring wheels with good results ____________________________________________________________ Do THIS before eating carbs (every time) 1 EASY tip to increase fat-burning, lower blood sugar & decrease fat storage http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/52f145d85d5c145d8122bst04duc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
