Demon Frameworks - Custom lugged frame

The CX Ray were almost 3 times the price ... the advice I got was:

The Sapim Race spokes are still a butted spoke and are at least as good as say a DT Competition spoke. The Laser is made of a higher quality steel, it is quite a bit lighter and has a higher longevity. The CX-Ray is pretty much the best spoke money can buy. They come on lots of high end road wheels now (some Zipps for example). They are aerodynamic, their longevity rating is unparalleled and their strength is extremely high - they can be used for downhill racing for example. However their premium price tag is a deterrent for some people. You may also want to consider the Sils alloy nipples upgrade.

I figured that the wheelset would be fine with Lasers, given that I wouldn't be racing let alone downhill racing. I have taken the nipple upgrade.

When doing things like this I always think fuck it and go for the best, so I would have gone CX Ray. Having said that all my wheels are low spoke count, so the cost difference is not negligible but isn't so great it scares the Bank Manager.
