+1 on the ACI DB spokes from cycle basket. Had a fuckup with spoke calc (my fault really) and Martin @ cyclebasket did a lightening turnaround and shipped us out a different size of spoke for no extra charge.
But.
Shop I'd used to build the wheels didn't follow my instructions and built the front from the correct 20p/EA ACI spokes. and the rear from 85p/EA DT Rev/Competition spokes (but later resolved). After 4days of riding, the front ain't moved a millimeter, and the rear has picked up a 1mm weave.
So don't let no shop tell you how great DT spokes are. I would say the 20pence ACI's are at least an equal match to DT Swiss Rev/Competition (not sure which) at more than 4x the price.
