• Pillar or sapim spokes? LB is giving the choice but although the former is lighter by a few grams I have no idea what Is best.

  • Pillar or sapim spokes?

    Personally I'd go for Sapim over Pillar. I believe that they use slightly different steels for their spokes (18/10 for Pillar, 18/8 for Sapim). I've used Sapim spokes a lot and never had any issues with them, whereas friends with Pillar spokes (mostly in Hunt wheels) have suffered from broken spokes. Of course there are a lot of other factors which might have led to this, but I'll be sticking to Sapim for my builds (except for those with DT Swiss Alpine IIIs).
