I have decided to pull the trigger and buy a powertap. Looking at their website, it seems more practical to buy a wheelset then the hub alone. I figure, why buy just the hub, when for the same price (or just a little bit more) you can get a free wheelset. With that being said I'm torn between the
Powertap Alloy Wheelset and the
DT Swiss 460 Wheelset. Both wheels cost the same, so price is a null point. From what I can tell the only difference is that the powertap wheels have 32 spokes on both wheels whereas the DT Swiss' has 24 and 28 respectively. Also the powertap wheels are a mere 40 grams heavier. I weigh 170 lbs (77kg) and don't race (yet) so these wheels will be primarily used for training.
Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. Does the difference between a 28 and 32 hole wheel matter all that much in regards to durability and speed? I have also heard that it is easier to find better rims for 28 spokes. Thanks.
