Stock spokes are good (aside some 2020 production which have spokes made of cheese), stock Alex Supra rim (welded, higher end alloy, was designed for DH/enduro use when 26" was the popular size) and novatec hd hub are very good, basically the most ideal for the usage, wouldn't change these items unless you have to.
Sapim strong spokes into the above makes a very good wheel.
Another rim is the Ryde Andra 40 HD, have built about 5 of those this year and none seem to have exploded yet.
Snapped a couple spokes on our new (to us) Bullett. Any recommendations for a wheel builder in SW London? I'll also post in the wheel building thread.
