i've used Sapim Laser spokes on my last few wheel builds (Kinlin xrf200, Novatec quality hubs, Sapim Laser (2.0/1.5/2.0). i've never given spoke twist a second thought. a few spokes ping for the first 10 feet or so of riding and then that's it. i don't use any special tools, just a Park spoke wrench.

i weigh about 150, and ride about 9-10000 miles a year. most of my wheels nowadays are 24-28 holes.
