So *any* manufacturer wheel as long as there is a std spoke count and even L-R?Alex Simmons/RST wrote: However, you'll need to choose a rim that uses standard spoke holes and an even L-R spoke count.

You need to check the hub first, they come in limited versions, ie. 'Comp' is only available in 32 spoke, some of the others are available in 24 spoke.clack3rz wrote:So *any* manufacturer wheel as long as there is a std spoke count and even L-R?Alex Simmons/RST wrote: However, you'll need to choose a rim that uses standard spoke holes and an even L-R spoke count.

I don't think you have anything to apologise for. I found your question and the information that came from them interesting.

Hi - Will check out the forum - thanks.Aussiebullet wrote: If you head over to the "weight weenies" web site in the road section there is a "sticky at the the top of the page called the wheelbuilding thread, it is a gold mine for newb wheelbuilders and experianced builders for that matter,
it has loads of info on building pt wheels from arguably the "best" wheel builders in the world if there is such a thing lol.
l usually buy rim, spokes, nipples and hub of choice, grease nipples and threads then lace them up and get any LBS to tension/true them up for ~$30. I've laced up a pt wheel myself (24h niobium 30 rim) they are no diff to any other hub just be shure to do at least 2 cross on the non drive side,
Mine is still going strong with 30'000 + kms on it!
Its easy and cheap, the cost can blow out a bit though if you get LBS to order rims, spokes etc and get them to lace it up and build it from scratch.
Have fun

good idea - prices are a fraction more than c r c and wiggle (free postage) but if they can better their prices it would be good. They have Quarqs too ...mmm Quarqtoolonglegs wrote:They always beat their web price by a fair bit.

Wire from the head unit to a receiver mounted on a chain or seat stay on the non-drive side near the hub.JV911 wrote:thanks for the heads-updonncha wrote:Also, competitivecyclist.com in the US are doing a Comp built into a DT wheel for US$650 which might be worth checking out.
wiggle and c r c have them too (mavic open pros) but out of stock...was looking at the "elite" though as i wanted ANT + and didnt really want wired (i'm assuming "wired" means there is a wire going from the hub to the head unit?)

And would your speed difference be due to more power, better tyres, better position on the bike, different cadence, wind...?ft_critical wrote: What greater benefit would I get from a power meter over the above tests (which in my humble opinion) are effectively measuring power?

Sorry you have to exlain the same things over and over.

Your thoughts about using a hill climb are on the right track.ft_critical wrote:What greater benefit would I get from a power meter over the above tests (which in my humble opinion) are effectively measuring power? This is probably ignorance on how a power meter is employed during training.
