Built quite a few sets of wheels over the last few years but was wondering what opinions are on DB spokes Vs plain ones? Normally go DB on MTB wheels. Once built a few sets of 700c disc wheels with plain drive side rear DB disc side and vice versa for front. Worked well. Spokes prices are stupid now though, Was just going to stick all plain ones on the few sets of 700c disc wheels I'm going to build for the winter. Looking at weight something like 60g heavier for 32 spokes? Pretty skinny rims so I'm guessing plain would be better anyway a bit stiffer etc.
