the spoke decision is Revs.
Why? Not because of stiffness etc but because Super Comps only come in black.

Comps then - they come in silver - as I suggested earlier. Save money, have stiffer wheels.

11pc stiffness gain ain't much, but its a gain, granted. The rinard link suggests it's a deflection diff of a fraction of a mm. 80g ain't much either. Nathans right, color or builder advice is more of a decider ) or cost.

Edit Al I prob don't express my thinking very clearly in writing, I'm not confident I'm right either, if I could figure out what diff flange dimensions made we could compare it to spokes but I wouldn't do it just to score points, simply a point that got me thinking. If you get an answer anywhere I'm interested tho.

80gm is say 7% so 11% gain in stiffness seems good to me.
