Ben,

Simplistically, no.  There's an art to wheelbuilding don't forget that.
But at your size, think more about rim section, ie: wider rims equal
stronger wheels and better tire distribution.  I am not familiar with the
Atlas wheelset, but pay attention to rim width.

Either 32 3x or 36 3x should build good wheels.  Don't cheap out on spokes
DT or Wheelsmith db ('cuz they tension up better).   Brass nips always.

Re: [RBW] Pick your brains about spoke count?

2021-10-25 Thread Mike Godwin 
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.

[RBW] Pick your brains about spoke count?

2021-10-25 Thread Ben Mihovk 
Hey all!
Hypothetically...does an Atlas wheel set with 32 spokes for a 6'3" 210 
pound dude make sense if he's on an unloaded Sam and using it as an 
all-road bike? No singletrack/mountain biking, jumping, etc... Tires would 
be AT LEAST 40mm, possibly up to 44mm. 

OR...is it 36h or bust if you're a big fellow? 

Thanks,
Ben in Omaha
