The mercury weight is from the Ison Distribution website. http://www.ison-distribution.com/ison/english/product.php?part=RMHAM716
Wheelroom says the are 475g, so 5g heavier than the IRDs, I think. However they're about £15 cheaper.
The bit I am finding difficult is getting a source for a rear hub with 24h drilling. Obviously I could get a Mack, or a Phil, but I don't want to double the price of the wheelset! So the Novatec from http://www.bdopcycling.com/ looks like the only option.
The site also has bladed spokes at $15 for a pack of 8, which is a bit cheaper than the CX-rays. I really want to justify bladed spokes but I think it won't happen on this build.
