Our rider weighs 120kg, impossible to find an off the shelf wheelset that can tolerate that much weights. Had to build him a super strong wheelset which is going to last many years to come, so 32 hole is a good starting point. DT Swiss 350 has always been a reliable, sturdy hub choice especially in this case. The highlight is the easiness of the building itself. This DT R500 alloy rim is very obedient, which is always welcomed by wheel builders, an extremely pleasant building process! A perfect wheel was produced at the end.
