since swapping to plain guage i've decreased the number of spokes i go through, but they all snap at the shoulder now, so those above should be good. bit pricey if you go to 48h though
I've just rebuilt my polo wheels with those Sapim Strong spokes. The 2.3mm section is pretty long, it runs past the first 2 crosses of the spoke on 3x pattern. The wheels are a lot heavier now, and when building up the front on a BMX hub is was pretty hard work to bend the spokes into place.

We'll see how they last!
