I'm running powertap, I'm not a fan of paired spokes, the paired front would look silly with my powertap wheel, and the pair are nice enough together that I'd rather just pass them along to someone who would get more out of them than me.

The paired spokes can be a can of worms, but my feeling is that they add no value. The wheels are competitively light, aero, either way, cost is similar, but the paired wheels are just a bit tougher to maintain in general.

Probably enjoying the rest. I gave her a nice washing before I pulled the wheels off (first wash since the rainy ATT crit that we won together).
