I am getting Mr merlin man to build me some wheels
Hope pro 11 hubs with mavic ex721 rims

And i have come across the problem of spoke choice
I thought that the DT comp SS DB were my choice
however i have since heard they arent the best thing to be putting in freeride wheels

My other choices are ACI SS DB and DT SS plain guage

Just looking for some explanations of each type and advantages / disadvantages for me

Thanks

    any DB spoke will do. DT or Sapim are the best.

    the butting moves the forces away from the elbow.

    have a read of the sticky in tech.
