Spoke choice for a wheel build
I was hoping to get hope hubs and xm481 rims as part of a new bike build but they don’t have that rim in stock.
However they do have ex511 which is a slightly burlier rim. I could upgrade spokes from dt swiss competition to competition race spokes which would slightly offset the extra weight though clearly not at the extreme end of the rotating mass.
Will the comp race spokes make a significantly less stiff wheel build?
