DT Competition for a nice reliable build.

Sapim CX Ray if you want a lively & responsive build.

Also depends on the drilling? 20, 24, 28, 32 36 or 40 hole!!!!

Depends how meavy you are.

I'd reckon Sapim Race on the back, Sapim Lazer on the front.

You haven't given us much to go on...

Unless you're after spending lots of money, I'd suggest sdeals and alpina spokes as below if you must have black ones though I'd use the cheaper silver ones in the second link. I've built a lot of wheels and they're just as good as DT comps which are pretty much a standard.

Sdeals spokes: http://www.sdeals.com/oscommerce/index.php?currency=GBP&cPath=35_54&sort=2a&vat_disp=1&language=en

black, 41p each http://www.sdeals.com/oscommerce/product_info.php/cPath/35_54/products_id/375

silver, 28p each http://www.sdeals.com/oscommerce/product_info.php/cPath/35_54/products_id/326

Well, get whatevers cheap, as per clubbers (and possible my) advice. But you'd want them to be the same thickness as the comps (2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0 I think) for the back wheel for sure.

Up front you should be ok with something lighter (2.0 - 1.5 - 2.0) like DT revs or Sapim lazers.
