For the same price you can get a Shimano hub, laced to a Mavic 317 rim with double butted spokes, handbuilt:

What spokes?

ACI S/S DB
Or
Dt plain gauge

Whats the difference?

ACi DB - double butted are lighter and build into more durable wheels.

What does in mean by disc/non disc rims?

Does it just mean that non disc rims are for rim brakes and disc rims for disc?

I think this question sounds stupid but i just want to be sure!

You can use any rim with a disc brake - 'non disc' is a silly term, but it does mean they can be used with rim brakes ie have the rim sidewall.

Aright, cheers!
