With my Enve rims I was limited to 28 spokes for my standard front/rear disc wheels. For this reason I chose the 65 mm rims (to add wheel strength, and make the spokes shorter), and 5.9 gram/spoke DT Competition spokes, instead of 4.3 gram/spoke DT Aerolites.

In two years and about 7,000 miles, we haven't broken any spokes, or had any spoke problems whatsoever. And they are still lighter and more aero than Rolf's.
