Stans Rim tape width
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Hi Guys
I have a set of bead hookless carbon TLR rims I'm looking to build up into some race wheels. I'm just wondering what width tape is recommended for an internal width of 22mm? By the time the channel is taken into account, the perfect fit tape width between goes up to 23mm, but the tape is only available in 21mm and 25mm widths.
Thanks for your advice 
32 or 36 holes?
Im about to purchase parts to build a 29er front wheel but Im uncertain if I should be purchasing 32 or 36 hole components.
Shold be noted Im a big fella.
Im doing it cheap so Im looking at getting
Alex Adventurer Rim $27.94 AUD (Rim Brake compatible)
Shimano XT Disc Hub Front M756 $38.97 AUD
My LBS said they can do the spokes, nipples, Assembly and truing for $80
