About to build a pair of wheels, Hope pro 3's 28h front and rear on ambrosio excellights and deciding what spokes to go for. Hoping to keep it as light as possible and I weigh 70kg(hopefully less in the future) I'm thinking sapim lasers front and Non drive side and sapim race drive side as advised by this site http://www.dcrwheels.co.uk/custom-wheelsets/choosing-spokes-advice/ ......However I came across this conflicting advice from http://www.wheelsmith.co.uk/wheelinfo.htm saying lasers are'nt suitable for rear wheels at all. Could anyone shed some light on this, either through knowledge or experience
Much appreciated
Ziya
