Message: I am building a wheelset with Campy 9-speed hubs and Sun ME14A rims. I want to use Wheelsmith 15 gauge oval or 14/15DB spokes and aluminum nipples. I am going 28 front but unsure of whether 28 rear would be serviceable or if I should go to 32 rear. Also I was going to do 2X in the front but unsure if I should go 2X or 3X in the rear. I am 170 lbs and not very hard on equipment. My goal is for a relatively lightweight, every day wheelset. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks very much. John
