Which offers the strongest stiffest wheel?

most of the more downhill orientated rims tend to have more spokes than xc wheels so i would simply say from that that the more spokes the more abuse the rim will take, but expect there is a more technical explanation!!Timmo.

Have you read the sticky on wheel strength? Generally 36 are stiffer, but 32 are very stiff and strong. A 32 drilled wheel will take everything you can throw at it (apart from trials due to the large lateral loads) if they are built well and evenly.0

Another vore for reading the "what makes a wheel strong" sticky thread.
I built myself a new pair of cross country wheels recently for my Enduro and, being a 15 stone rugby second row, went for 36 spokes on XC717 rims, with XT hubs.0
