CX-Rays are wonderful spokes but horribly expensive. They provide no real aerodynamic benefit for standard wheels and their fatigue resistance is moot.. The mix of a 450+g clincher rim and CX-Rays is nothing short of... uneconomical.. to say the least.. Want light wheels...? Get light tubular rims.. since we are talking about 110/120mm single sprocket rear wheels--- and not multispeed--- there is absolutely nothing against using old school 300g class rims. Spokes..? DT Revs are a pain to build with but they are comparatively cheap...
