    Normally between 15 - 16 stone. I very rarely get extreme but like to do the odd jump or drop if one presents itself. I'm too old to get extreme now!

    Have a read of this:

    Seems a similar situation!

    XC717 are the classic XC rim at 410g
    XM719 is a middle of the road rim, slightly wider and 470g.
    EN521 the Enduro rim at 530g or so.
    EX721 extreme rim at 595.

    last two number digits refer to internal width.

    Unless CXRay or DT Aerolite, I would just use DB spokes for a 32 spoke build personally.

    I built some wheels for a mate (first pair, i'd previously built a rear for my flatmate) with the dt aerospeed (non double butted elliptical spokes) for his road bike. I found I didn't need anything to hold the spokes straight, they'd twist as the nipple turned, but i could turn, say more than the 1/4 turn i wanted, then turn them back so the nipple wouldn't unthread just untwist the spoke. Made the build really easy.

    Just ordered some custom wheels. Got DT 4.2 rims on red Hope front hub and XT rear. Got the XT rear to save some money and also was worried about the noise from the Hope rear. Hope the red looks good :D
