I'm about to start stripping down my Zipp 404 Firecrest wheel so I can replace the god-awful POS Zipp hub with a Tune Mag170. Apparently the Mag170 doesn't have the creaking issues the Mag180 did. Here's hoping.
Anyway, I'm going to build them up 2x on both DS and NDS, unlike the current setup which is 2x NDS and radial DS. On the DS I'll definitely be using CX-Rays but was considering using Super CX-Rays on the NDS. Apart from the cost of the Super spokes, and taking as read the fact that any weight saving is negligible, is there any reason why this would be a bad idea?
