I've got Mack Low Flanges 20/24 (silver) on the way. I was initially planning on lacing them with Sapim CX-Rays, but then vaguely remember reading somewhere that they have to be machined specifically for aero spokes.
With that in mind I looked to DT Comps/DT Super Comps, is the only different between them the treating of the metal? Or just Sapim Laser in black. In each case I will also just use brass nipples in silver.
As for rims my options are Archetypes/XR22Ts/China Carbon (noting I want a braking surface).
Does the choice of spoke/nipple/rim make the process of building a wheel anymore or any less brainless?
