I am just about to order a new set of wheels...
These will be built on DT Swiss Hugi Disc hubs (I got a great price) and Mavic x717 rims.
The only problem are the spokes and niples. I have two choices:
- get revolutions (not as strong but light, not recommended for disc wheels)
- get competition (heavier but reliable, not that much less expensive)

and niples - alu or brass for disc wheels?

My type of riding is marathons and cross country. I ride 1000-2000 miles offroad on my mtb per year.
I weigh about 158 lbs. Am I weight weenie - yes to some extent - but have limited budget and would not go "all the way" to lighten a bike. Durability of parts is important for me

What would you recommend - lighter (strong enough?) or not as heavy but v. strong spokes
Thanks for your help.
