• Other than ease of building, I take it there's no point on having bladed spokes on wheels used exclusively for cyclocross? Not at the speeds I race it, anyway, which are to say the very least somewhat modest.

    Got a new set of cyclocross wheels to build and I'm trying to persuade myself that black Alpinas will be fine and CX-Rays will be overkill.

  • CX-Rays will be overkill

    By any rational economic analysis, CX-Rays are overkill for anybody paying for their own wheels, regardless of which discipline they suck at.

  • I'm trying to persuade myself that black Alpinas will be fine

    Have you also persuaded yourself that black spokes are nearly twice as good as silver? 😉
