Nobody is disputing that Revolutions work, the question was whether they are worth having. The only value they might have would be if they allowed you to go further or faster. If you replace 1-for-1 Comps, the faster bit is possible but by a vanishingly small margin. If you really can use a Rev in place of a Comp, you were already using too many Comps, and you will achieve more "faster" by cutting the spoke count with Comps than you will by cutting the strength/stiffness by using thinner spokes.

Jon.
I've always built with revolution and I'm not as light as you, nor as smooth on the bike. The wheels I had yesterday at Herne Hill were built with revolution and are perfectly true today.
