I am going to have a go at building some wheels.
Which spokes should I go for , Sapim race or API alpina.
I am 110KG and it's for mainly trail riding and maybe a bit of enduro if I get a lot better
Also will they both fit DT swiss squorx nipples?

ACI alpina from Cyclebasket.com
I've built many wheels using these, DH, Enduro, trail, gravel I'm 105ish KG & they've stayed tight & true using the supplied 12mm nipples.

DT Swiss Alpine 2.3/1.8/2 are my go to for strong wheels. Never broken one even on MTB tandems. No rim or hub failures because of them either. The 2.3/2 ones aren't as elastic and have resulted in cracked hubs and rims on tamdems with a 125kg pair.
