So I'm looking at having wheels built for my girlfriend.

White Industries H1 hubs.

Pink Velocity Aerohead rims

She weighs <max> 105 lbs.

Any suggestions for spoke count/lacing would be appreciated.

I'm a 105 lber and I had Jeremy build my wheels. He used Nimble Spider rims, Tune rear hub, American Classic front hub, 20f, 24r spokes. Without the skewers the set weighs 1185 grams for 650c's.

Awesome set of wheels for someone small like me.

Wow. 1200g wheels. How can I lose 80lbs? :D

I guess we are assuming that she'll ride only on smooth roads?

Removing an arm and a leg should help :rolleyes:

I would recommend opposite sides so the bike handling won't be thrown off as much :D
