Hey,
I'm investing in a new front wheel for my Specialized Rockhopper 08 disc (Ok, I buckled the old wheel), and I've decided on a hand built one from Merlin Cycles. However, I'm not sure what spokes to get- ACI S/S DBs in black or black DT Comp S/S DBs.
Obviously the ACIs would be better because I'm on a really really really tight budget , however what I want to know is is there a big difference in quality, weight, strength etc?
Thanks!!
Naomi
Oh, and the spec for the rest of the wheel is:
Rim- Mavic EN521
Hub- Shimano Deore 6 Bolt Disc
Spokes- ACI S/S DB black OR DT Comp S/S DB black

I've got the DT's on my custom build and haven't had any problems as yet... i'm not the lightest rider either.0
