I just checked out Velocity's website and I really like what I see. I just might go with the offset Aeroheads instead of the Open Pros. I can see the offset design working because the DA c24's actually have an offset/asymmetrical spoke bed on the rear as well. Probably why they are so darn strong and stay true at 1380 grams with a 20/16 spoke count.

So.....Record hubs, Velocity Aerohead O/C rims, but what spokes? Should I do a combination of DT Swiss Competition DS and Revolution NDS in the rear? All Revolution to save weight? How about Sapim Lasers? I'm looking for spokes that will give me the optimum balance of strength and low weight.
