Going to be making a set of wheels with sapim laser spokes (2.0/1.5/2.0), Stans Alpha 340 rims and novatec hubs. I read on the Sapim website that they only recommend experienced wheelbuilders use their laser spokes as they're prone to twist. I've only built with straight gauge spokes before.

Planning to use lots of grease on nipples, sticky tape squares attached to the top of each spoke so I can clearly see rotation if it occurs, and copper jaw pliers (some regular needle nosed pliers with two strips of microbore copper tube) to grip spokes and compensate if necessary without deforming or hardening the spoke. Anyone see any faults with this plan or suggest better tips?
