Nice, I went for the 30mm profile in the same lacing. I've not had a chance to use them yet but they're really nicely finished rims.
Be interested to see how narrow the brake track is, might go for the 23's on another build.

Nice! I'm sure they'll be proper stiff in the 30mm depth.
I'm going enjoy building them. David mentions the rim beds are rated to 300kgf (i.e. ~3000N) which allows for higher tensions. I don't have a spoke tension meter but I do have a piano! A wheelbuilder once told me to aim for A above middle C, that was a Kinlin 270 rim I think. I will maybe just pick a note a few keys up. I like E. Perhaps Eb to keep it moody. If anyone near N16 has a spoke tension meter and wouldn't mind a 5 minute visitor next week - it'd be interesting to test out this theory.

DCR Flirt, 23mm deep in polished aluminium finish, 20/24h.
When built with the DCR hubs and Sapim D-Light spokes the wheelset should be about 1425g or so, which is not bad for £278 in parts.
They end up a similar cost to the eBay 38mm/50mm carbon wheels but 150-200g lighter, with better braking performance and will be more serviceable. Though admittedly not quite as bad-ass.
