For some of my heavier customers the Velocity Deep V

has worked well with 36 spokes. It seems like,

regardless of the rim choice, the strongest spoking is

14/15/14 double butted spokes on the front and left

side rear, with straight 14 gauge on the right side

rear. The deep aero rims of any brand do stay

straighter under bigger people without having to

resort to 40 or more spokes--the only problem with

that many spokes is that hub varieties are few and

prices are usually way at the high end such as Hugi,

Phil Wood, and Chris King.
