Wheel building guide

[hamster]

I built up some bombproof touring wheels for the tandem with the DS Swiss Alpine triple and they are impressively solid looking. I know in the past that people had trouble with Mavics cracking round the eyelets with heavy touring loads. It's nothing of great concern if touring with Europe, but I'd do a bit more digging if riding expeditions in say Africa.

Cheers chaps! Took your advice and got the DT Swiss Alpine for the DS - indeed a very solid looking spoke.

The wheels will probably be a bit overbuilt for purpose, but having piece of mind over gram weight saving
won't be a bad thing in the long-run.
