Looking for options for a road wheel build. Don't want to break the bank so no Chris King suggestions...
Needs to be disc, 15mm front and 142x12 rear.

I was looking at Stans Alpha 400 Disc on either Pro 2 or DT Swiss 350, the latter possibly being straight pull as it's a bit lighter but more pricey to get built. Put off the pro 2 as I have them on both MTB's and really fancy something different...no other reason than that really.

Can't really think of anything else?

Anyone recommend a good place to get them built too?

Just had a look, they don't do disc or bolt thru hubs.

Better ways of losing weight than straight pull IMO.

JRA are rated for builds no?

Hope will now do you a [url= http://www.hopetech.com/product/stans-alpha-pro-2-evo/ ]disc wheel with Alpha 400[/url] or a weight weenie version with [url= http://www.hopetech.com/product/stans-alpha-xc6/ ]XC6 hubs[/url]. I suspect that this will work out at better value than custom speccing something, so it would be hard to look past the Hopes.

The hope build doesn't come as a disc rim...and the XC6 rear isn't convertible to 142x12.

Yeah I've gone off the SP idea.

JRA work out more expensive that others but then other doesn't seem to want any business due to lack of communication.
