OK

I need help, What rim should I get with a powertap pro which I will probably put a disk cover on? The Dt swiss 1.1 or the Mavic or ? Also what spoke count should I get 28 or 32, I am 190 and 6’ 2"

Thanks

I went for the DT Swiss option. 32H PT SL. I’m 185cm and 68-75kg’s. I’ve been racing draft legal so haven’t used it in a race - consequently, weight isn’t an issue. Just wanted something bombproof.

I just got mine built up. 32 holes, Velocity Aerohead rim, Wheelsmith XL spokes. It is pretty stiff and reasonably light considering how heavy the hub is. I am 185 Lbs.

I have my PT in a Velocity Deep V, 28. This wheel is really strong and I love it. I went through a couple of wheels but this one is awesome! Rich at Wheelbuilder.com cut CH Aero Covers to fit the rim. He did an awesome job. Give him a call!
