Can you actually buy these yet or are they only available to certain bike shops?
r2-bike.com sell them
ship quickly
there is a cx-ray superspoke now as well
wow, 13% less cross sectional area for 20gm weight saving per wheel (over 32 x lasers/revolutions), interesting.
Hmmm, they look good, but the 1.8/1.5 Revolutions can be had for less than $1 each, and they're only 10g heavier per wheel.
Unfortunatley #sapim are selling there spokes faster than they can supply them or at least that what chicklens say, which leads to stocking problems.
Hmmm, £150 or so over Revs, for 20g... I like the theory, and in pre-built wheelsets from the Euro shops they seem reasonable, but I'll not be buying them, even if Chicken's do have stock! Do they come in packets of 20 like CX-Rays as well?
I am now thinking about a build using Stan Alpha 340 rims, these super spokes and campag record hubs and that would be ~1310g with 32 spokes per wheel. I few more grams if lasers were used rear drive side. I want to build a set oif those now and see how they run. Not everyday wheels for sure.
£150 LOL and folk are even buying them!
I'd just get some eBay 6-pawl hubs, as TINAS of this parish has done (I believe). Lighter and cheaper.
Well those are light. They would save another 100g. I might give thoise a go. I did think these spokes wqould be expensive but £3 a spokes is very expensive. At least a 28 hole build would save £24! This is a pipe dream build you know though.
Unless you have to buy packs of 20.
