Hi!
Planning to build a budget lightweight DH wheelset with the following parts:
- Used Hope Pro 2 hubs (20mm front and 12x150mm rear)
- DT Swiss Revolution spokes
- DT Swiss alloy nipples
- DT Swiss EX500 rims
I've already read more than a few threads about people wanting to use DT Revolution spokes on DH wheelsets, ending up not doing it because some people state that they would flex, snap etc. because of how thin they are. As this is a budget build, I cannot afford using Sapim CX-Rays or DT Aerolites which are said to be better alternatives in that weight-range.
Could anybody who has actually tried riding DH with Revo's give me a proper statement about how they actually perform?
