That's exactly the same wheel I used for 3xTCR and 2xTABR and would still be rolling today if some cunt hadn't driven into the back of me. Always J-bend.

Is there a forum-approved cheap alternative to the Sapims?
CNSpoke and Pillar are both OK, not sure if the saving is enough to be called cheap if you're still getting the ~ 2.3 x 0.9 aero ones
Do I want to go J-bend or straight pull?
Depends. The pros and cons are well rehearsed, personally I'd go straight pull. The utility value of having (j-bend) spokes which can be replaced in an emergency by almost any bike shop in the world is substantially overstated.

Anything wrong here?
