I thought about it but decided to go with a rim with a deeper profile. I was considering Deep-Vs until I ran across the Fusion which came highly recommended as an all-around rim. Not as light as the Open Pro but not as heavy as Deep-V. I should be able to build a reasonably light wheel that will be plenty Clyde-worthy without too much lateral flex. I'm also going from 4x to 3x on the 36H build which will save a tad of weight and increase lateral stiffness. If I do the 32H wheelset, I'll go 3x.

I talked to techs at Pro Wheelbuilders and at Velocity today and both of them said that for my style and level of riding, the weight advantage of the Revolution spokes would be negligible and neither thought that the increased elongation would make a significant difference. With my size and riding conditions, it sounds like a higher tension is more important that spoke diameter and the Fusions have a significantly higher manufacturer recommended max tension (125) than the Open Pros (95). The guy at Pro Wheelbuilders said I could even go a smidge higher on the DS and wasn't concerned about the stress on the hub flange as long as I didn't get carried away. Right now I'm running about 115 on the DS (yeah, I know, over Mfg rec).

FB, if you're still checking on this thread, can you tell me more about the advantage of using lighter NDS spokes.
