Is it worth using Revolution spokes for the 50 gram saving over Competition?
No.
And I've never built with alu nipples, is it too much of a pain for 20 grams per wheel?
I find Sapim Polyax ali nipples the easiest of all nipples, including brass, to build with and I've never had a problem with them corroding.
So Revs no, ali nips yes. ATMO.
Brommers-
What's the difference between Sapim Polyax Al nipples and those from other manufacturers that prevents the inevitable corrosion in British weather? I use the brass Polyax nipples and washers and to date find them great but on the odd occasion I've used DT Swiss Al nipples they corroded. I could have course have done something wrong, in the correct conditions I'm sure they are great.

Sapim Polyax ali nipples
In which case maybe I'll use the Sapim D-Light spokes. Less rotational mass with the short butting at the rim end and disc specific.
Cranky

They look a good bet actually, assumed they'd be heavier given their mountain bike status.
