So normal spoke heads will fit? They won't be too small or something? It's just for emergency repair.
I hate non-standard shit like spokes though - should I consider the Velocity rims instead? They don't require any weird crap do they?
Same goes for SL25s, but they're not as deep/aero/strong/sexy...

You can use standard spokes, but the nipples and washers are part of the rim design. Probably best to carry some spares, as the underside of the head is their non-standard hemispherical ProHead® design to match the profile of the PHR washers. The Torx drive is just the next step up from my usual preference for building from outside the rim with hex head nipples, there's a conventional square interface for fixing the wheels from the inside with a conventional spoke key.
