The tire size is going to be important. If I build my own wheels I got a lot of freedom. |
I hate to break this to you, but the mid grade wheels sold today are SO MUCH stronger and faster then what you have there. I build my own wheels too 30 years ago. They had to be trued every season now, I ride them and ride them without having to worry about them getting out of wack. I am rough on wheels and am one of those guys that will take the group behind hard over railroad tracks or rough roads. Do you need them for the 100 ride? No, of course not, but they sure are nice to have. Less spoke count, more aero, and light weight with supple ride quality. What's not to like.
