Not building the wheels myself. Getting a LBS to do it. I think they have the competence to handle the issues. I hope they do.
The offset a23s are not in stock and expected in 3 weeks. Is it worth the wait? I know the theoretical advantages of an offset rim, but have also read reports of them cracking, so is there any practical advantage which I will see. Not like I put out a gigawatt of power.
The Sapim Laser is a better, stronger spoke with the same dimensions and same weight. It is also very readily available from Bike Hub Store and others.
Sorry, but in the USA I would not let an LBS build wheels for me unless they were famous for wheel building. Most shops just don't do it well enough to suit me. Where you are may be different.
