Does anyone know how stiff carbon spokes are?

Considering LB’s new carbon spokes on a new build. Saves ~90g, would look pretty cool, but wouldn’t do it if they’ll be a harsh ride.

Once you've made them as stiff as steel, you've already lost so much on aero that there is literally no gain from the weight loss unless you're going up such a steep hill that you're carrying the bike rather than riding it.

Like anybody on here actually races/cares. Looks first, weight second and only so you can quote the number online
