I will email those guys to ask what kind of spokes they use. I was already planning on taking to the LBS to have them re-tension them after reading so many posts on this forum.
Well...it's not the "retention" that you really need to worry about. It's the "prep". If they're not prepped properly and initially tentioned / trued properly, then they will loosen up on you frequently. You will be taking trips to your LBS on a regular basis.
My LBS loosened the nipples and dripped lindseed down on the threads. They rebuilt them and they became a strong wheel that "STAYED" strong.
It's a longevity issue.
