I'm going to be building a wheelset shortly using DT Swiss Revolution spokes. They're 14/17g butted which is thinner than I've used before (only built with plain gauge or 14/15g).
I've read that can be tricky to build with due to excessive wind-up. Can anybody confirm if that is the case? I'm assuming that if I'm thorough with stress relieving every time I tension I shouldn't have much of a problem?
