thoughts on DT supercomp spokes?Hammerheadbikes

anyone have much real hands on experience with these?

they are about the same as Wheelsmith DB 14s I am thinking...
the difference being the nipple end going to a 1.8
they supply with alloy nipples, perhaps the logic being there is a tad more material in the nipple since the hole is smaller and thus "stronger" for disc use than a normal alloy nipple

are they shipping with 12 or 16mm nipples?

just curious

My local wheel guru (and wrench for the local pros) had a nice all black King DiscGoTech built up with 317/SuperComps/DT ProLock nips/tied and soldered sitting in the shop. He had built it up for someone who cancel the order so he cut me a great deal. I don't know if it's the spokes, the build, the tied and soldered or whatever, but this is one fantasic wheel. Super stiff and still light (although I didn't weigh it). Per DT specs, the SuperComps are only 16g heavier per wheel than the Revolutions but are 0.2mm thicker in the middle so they should be stiffer. Works for me!

I have a set of QBP built ISO hubs/x3.1 UST rims with the Supercomps they are holding up great and are very stiff...
