Hi Guys,
Just looking for your opinions. As in the topic, there is a set of ready built wheels but unused, that I am thinking about buying. The wheels are constructed as follows:
- Archetype 23mm rims,
- Dura Ace 9000 hubs, 28F/32R,
- Sapim Laser spokes front and rear on both sides (not sure about the nipples),
- Lacing - radial on front and rear non drive side, 3x on drive side,
The question I have - is the radial lacing an advantage there, or does it make the wheels less flexible / compliant?
I would use them with a 10 speed cassette - are these hubs OK with the dedicated spacer, or would it be better to have a 10-speed specific rear hub, i.e. with less aggressive angle on drive side?
The other thing is - I could easily do with lower spoke count due to my weight, i.e. I am about 66kg, and I already have a set of similar wheels that I built myself using hubs that I could source at the time. So, I am not sure if that would be the perfect set for me, but I would welcome your comments.

Yes... in your case it won't make much difference as the warranty is not valid anyway, but...
