    The double should be this one:

    The aero is a bit of a mystery as there are 4 aero to choose from. Assuming they're just using aero and it's not butted aero then should just be the aero one.

    Thanks.
    It doesn't look like you can link to specific pages on Pillars website.
    There are 3 DB spokes though, the PBD 1415, 1416 and 1417.
    It is annoying that Planetx don't know what they are selling; they could be a bargain or expensive depending on what they are!

    WHy would they be a bargain? AFAIR a Sapim race is 40-50 pence , Laser are maybe 70-80 pence. PIllar are by all accounts less durable than Sapim or DT Swiss... what would make them a bargain at 50 p a pop?

    If you want a bargain, Alpina ACI are 10 p a pop and they are very good

    Because, if they were the PSR XTRA 1420 they normally run to £2.50ea (similar to CX-Rays), so 50p each would therefore be a bargain.
    As I don't know what they are, I will stick to Sapim.
