  1. Let's see: minimize rotational weight; maximize lateral stiffness and radial strength. Is there
    anything else to consider, other than price, and how well the wheels hold up over time? That being
    said, static weight may be an approximate indication of roational weight, but just how do you find
    out which rim/spoke/hub/lace combination offers the greatest lateral stiffness and radial strength?

  2. depends on your account. start from the top with colorado cyclists drool list and as the wheels
    disintegrate with your particular riding habits buy stronger wheels until(itsa hit) until you "find"
    a set that "holds up"

    or start from the ugly as a nail 36 spoke(puke)double wall rims and check out that strength level.
    like if urgonnna bend a 36/double why drool on the three spoke model??
