Ok, and if we look at the other end of extravagance, recycling the hub and spokes, the spokes are about 8 months old (Sapim Race). I've taken a look at the prowheelbuild spokecalc as a first pass and from the calculator I can get away with these replacement rims:
-Velocity Deep V (but in black, they're laced to a really shocking champagne colour deep v at the moment)
-Kinlin XC279
-Open Pro (laced 2x)
-Velocity Synergy (laced 2x)
-TB14 (laced 2x, but spokes will fall 2-3mm short...concerned about nipple thread engagement on this option)
-Or I could unlace and oven cleaner the deep V's and paint them
Thoughts?
