Hi Jason,
Super happy "New Bike Day" you really picked a great whip as your first
Rivendell. I did the same back in 2012 when I purchased a new A. H. Hilsen.
You also picked one of my favorite locations to ride to and photograph.
Best,

As a Clydesdale that "rides light" and chooses to buy quality wheels when I
don't have them built for me, I have never had in issue with 32 spokes,
ever...even loaded with bike packing gear.
In agreement with Eric and Bill.

Adding onto Eric's correct comments. I'd say the rider technique has a lot
to do with the reliability of wheels also. Some riders just seem to know
how to ride light. Others simply don't. There are light weight riders who
destroy wheels because they don't know how to ride, or they do know

An excellent couple of mountaineering narratives (non-fiction) are Herzog's
'Annapurna' and 'Minus 148: The First Winter Ascent of Mt. Mckinley'. And,
then, of course, there is the incomparable 'Mawsons Will' (1912 Antarctic

Improved spokes and rims have made 36 holes or higher wheels obsolete even
for heavier riders (max 200+ pounds or so). At 210 and 2 meters tall, I
even use 32 wheels for touring with absolutely no problems. I have been

Thanks to everyone for the replies. To give more context, the wheels in
question are the standard Velocity built wheel set (Atlas rims, velocity
hubs) that used to be a stock wheel option. I don't know if that makes any
kind of difference. They're old (about 8 years) and lightly used...and
In my experience, the quality of the rim and spokes and the skill of the
wheelbuilder matter much more than the spoke count. A well-made 32-spoke wheel
will outlive a cheap 36-spoke wheel any day.
I’ve ended up with several bikes with 36-spoke wheels, but more by chance than
design. I ride on

Lately I've noticed that many suppliers aren't offering any 36 hole rims or
hubs, as though they're going by the wayside. A quick check into the Phil
Wood website shows they're only offering 36 hole in a few models. And
another check into a major virtual bike shop with "36 hole" as a sort
I would always go with the 36. One reason is that the spokes at the rim
joint cross, so the spoke tension is working to close the rim joint. This
was the reason to go to 44 instead of 40 or 48 many, many years ago, but I
think that 44 is an obsolete spoke count at this point. Rims are so much

4 additional 700c wheel-size 14-15-14 g spokes will add about 30 grams per
wheel, 6.2 - 6.7 g/spoke for Sapim and DT, respectively. Nips are a few
grams each. Its not that critical. Build 36 spoke wheels and be 11 percent
happier.

I am 6'6" and 210-- 32 spoke 700c wheels have always been fine for me.
Keep an eye on spoke tension with a new wheel, but otherwise, I have not
been able to discern any difference between 36 and 32 wheels.

The top tube length listed would be effective top tube, measured
horizontally, not along the tube. That will lengthen the result a bit.
