Hi all
I have a pretty worn wheel on my commuter. It is a Alex rim R450 with a shimano RM30 hub, with 32 spokes. the rim is on its last leg, the hub needs a service and i'm now braking a spoke every so often even after getting a local shop to true it properly to stop that from happening. so i'm considering replacing the whole wheel and using the hub on a different bike.
i quite like the look of the Shimano r500 wheel. But with only 24 spokes would this wheel be ok with a panniers? Or should i just be looking at 32 - 36 spoked wheels?
any advice would be helpful.
