If I wanted to build up some HED Ardennes / Belgium Plus rims onto some decent hubs, are DA 9000 a good option? They're a bit heavier than CK, but seem easier to service, have the Ti freehub body, and are much cheaper. Would be 32 / 28 as I'm quite heavy. Any idea what length CX Ray spokes I'd need too? And the cheapest place to get 60 of them in silver?
Other option would be Shamals, which would be cheaper and lighter, but don't have the wide rim profile and I guess wouldn't be as easy to true / service.
