Is it a good idea to replace all the drive side spokes with some DT comp or sapim race to strengthen up the DS?
I wouldn't be a bad idea as you're in there anyway. Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea if Superstar stopped sucking up to idiotic weight weenies and built all their stock wheels with Comp/Race to start with.

The laser spokes are jot them problem. Used thousands they are good spokes but a stiff rim must be used and hubs with good bracing angles. Superstar components have those qualities. The wheel build quality needs to top notch as well. Even spoke tension and 1200N Ds rear tension. Obey the rules and laser work. Disregard them and the break.

Superstar Pave - Rear wheel, driveside spoke snappage. It's just one spoke gone but the wheel has gone 10mm+ out. eek!
Real question though, can I replace the Sapim laser with any other regular spoke with no ill effects?
