Wheel Advice (again!)

[mauisher]

I'd recommend 32 rear/28 front, though you'll probably be fine with 28/28. I'd go with the 32 spoke rear for the cross-country trip because of all the pounding you'll put these through on diverse roads in diverse conditions day after day. You can do 2x for 28 spoke wheels, 3x for 32 spoke. But if you do a 28 spoke rear, see if your builder will do 3x on the drive side, 2x on the other. I laced up one like this at UBI.

Thanks, Deb. That idea of 3x on drive side and 2x on other of a 28 spoke rear would be a compromise between the two builds.
