Finished the XR26/low flange Dura Ace track/Sapim wheels last night. The rims (ultimately) built up okay but I had some frustrations with them, from all the swarf I had to remove to how easy it was to lose nipples inside, to a hop at both seams. I didn't have these issues with R460 rims and even the oft maligned Rhynolites were easier to work with despite their initial wobbliness.
Put it down to lack of experience, but at twice the price of the DTs (for me), I'm not sure I'd go back to Kinlin.
