Thanks all. My first, and only, wheel build to date was with DT Comps and seems nice and tight. There is however more tension in my spokes than my recent shop built wheel so I'm keeping an eye on the eyelets for cracks (paranoid). It's still lovely and true though after many miles.
I guess from the comments I'm OK with the DT Comps and shall calculate and order in the next few days.
Smallfurry - how do I tell if my spokes are de-stressing enough to move in the hub drilling. I assume this would be as the wheel rotates under load and would be hard to measure. Is it simply if the wheel goes out of true?
Thanks
