mavic carbone sl powertap???

I want to build a pt with a carbone sl, is this a good idea? i know mavic sell them already laced to pt. however i was told that it might be flexy since it is only 20h, i am planning to use a heavier stronger spoke with brass nipples. i was also told with a carbone sl, i cant lace 2x on the drive side for clearance issues, is this true?


Does anyone know what stock aero spokes are used for the wheel set? I was leaning towards building up the rear wheel with dt swiss competition to add stiffness. Will using competition spokes make that much of a difference in stiffness or should I just stick with the aero spoke? I weigh 170lbs, I just want to make sure the rear 20 spoke 2x non drive/radial drive side laced with the powertap will be stiff enough.

On the other hand, I noticed that mavic offers the carbone sl already paired with a pt. How come they use the 2.4 version and not the SL pt version? I read that the 2.4 version that mavic is using is able to use ant+, is this true?

thnx
