I have a couple of sets under construction...what do you need to know? I use 3 cross single gauge stainless steel spokes. IIRC 14 ga. Some of the older SA hubs need to have a small washer placed under the spoke head. Also figure on swapping out the cog for a larger one to reduce gearing a bit. Biggest beef I have at the moment is trying to find 700c in a 40 hole version, apparrently the CR18 700c 40 hole has been discontinued.
