Hi,

I am going to build myself a set of clincher wheels with Campy 36 holes hi-flange record hubs (100/120mm OLD) and NOS Ambrosio Elite Prisma rims, and wanted to ask the list's advice for which spokes to use. Of course the most common DT Swiss Competition 14/15 gauge are the obvious choice but maybe I could use something lighter such as Competition 15/16 gauge or Revolution 14/17? Or is the saved weight not worth the trouble? (The target bike is a Falcon San Remo, and it will be a rider.)

Thanks for your advice.
