Wheelbuild advice please!

Can you elaborate on this David?

Just try to source them in the lengths that you want.  I rebuild a fair number of carbon road rims of differing depths and patterns so finding sp spokes is a major issue.  When you do (import) you have to buy in multiples.  I have ordered stock for myself from a spoke manufacturer.  From this I will be able to cut and thread from 209 mm to 300 mm.  Had to order 10 000 to be able to do this. No delivery date yet.

 

You are also stuck - permanently - with the spoke pattern that the hubs are designed for.  Mostly designed for looks and weight and not durability.  For eg if the pattern is 28 two cross you can't rebuild as a three cross.

Nothing wrong with your build spec, like what was previously mentioned you could probably go with Hope or Novatec hubs if cost is an issue

 

If you ride very aggressive and tend to ride hard on your wheels go for the 32hole, If you confident you wont break or bend them then 28 should be fine especially if you can drop about 3 kg's on the bike weight e.g with all your kit on

Thanks for feedback
