Cool, I've found a thread on the MTBR forum where someone was asking the same thing, so have PM'd them to find out if they have an answere.
Is there a forum recommended book on wheel building? Considering I'm going straight in with some nice parts it would probably be good to do some extra reading.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bicycle-Wheel-Jobst-Brandt/dp/0960723668/ , which you can also find as a pirate PDF, a proposition which you might find acceptable now that Jobst is no longer in a position to receive royalties.

The stans rim is shallow therefore use sapim race or DT comps. DT alpine III is the other choice. Measure erd unless the retailer is a wheel builder and uses the rims so does not just restate the manufacturers claim.
