Are Sapim Race Spokes axially stiffer than CX Rays?

Yes

Would replacing my DS CX Rays with Race spokes enable me to run the NDS spokes tighter?

No, unless you also have the DS tighter, and the rim is probably already the limiting factor rather than the spokes.

Ah yes, I was thinking the wrong way round. So I guess my only option is to get a tension meter and see if I can crank up the tension on the DS any more. It doesn't help that the rim I am using doesn't list a max tension. Piece of shit Kinlin, was oval out of the box too. Might just bin it and replace it with a R460 which lucky me has compatible ERD.
