The extra weight is trivial, it's only a short section at the head end which is 2.3mm instead of 2mm According to DT website, (64 spokes, 264 mm): Alpine III 2.3/1.8/2.0 418g Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 382g Extra expense is also trivial, 6p each at Rose So for an extra 36g and less than £4 for a pair of wheels, you can upgrade from Comps to Alpine III. On that basis, I can't see why anybody would use Comps.
