Yeah 130 dish is sub-optimal. I've always wondered about whether the CTC rag's tech guy was right about using single-butted spokes DS on heavily dished wheels, and DB or TB on the NDS ... I've tried it once but of course can't really say whether it was 'better' as I hadn't built all the same parts with equal spokes to compare. Lots of other wheel heads have argued this is BLX but I can't really say why they felt that, in technical/engineering terms. Or couldn't be bothered to remember, it was the artist formerly known as 'Tester' after all.
