no i dont think you should ever move to front freewheel really . the best hub you can get is a chris king if you can afford it, not cheap, and not necessary for begginers . a good hub to start with would be a shimano lx silent clutch, but if you end up being very hard on freehubs a chris king wouild be the way .
another option would be an RB designs tractor hub . i am not sure about the strength but i am pretty sure they are good, and also good because they have straight pull spokes which make your rim stronger i think . somebody back me up on this or say im wrong, thanks
.
a good rim for somebody who is hard on it would have to be an echo rim i think, or otherwise some king os DH rim(or at least something strong, possibly drilled out) by sun ringle or mavic . ask your bikeshop about these brand rims and strength and whatever you want .
i am not too sure about spokes, i just use whatever spokes the bikeshop uses to lace the rim and hub ...
cool! cya .
