Strengths: Light, easy to build, feel strongWeaknesses: These spokes break right above the nipple. I've broken 3 of them in the same place. A tensiometer was used to build these wheels.Bottom Line: These spokes feel like 14-15 spokes til they break. They are easy to build up, don't wind up during building, and are fairly light. However, they break right where the material has been removed to make the spokes light. These are the only spokes I've had break without provocation. A fella on mtbr says he's seen these break at a rate 10x higher than any other spoke. With all the spoke choices available, it would be foolish to choose these.

Strengths: DURABLE!!!This are the best spokes for disc brakes!!!Weaknesses: NONE!!!!Bottom Line: If you want a spoke that is much more resistent than REVOLUTION and just 35g hevier for 72spokes the super comp is for you, for a stiffer wheelset with disc brakes they are the BEST!!!!

Strengths: Super strong and lace super tight without stripping, lightweight, stay trueWeaknesses: None experiencedBottom Line: Could not believe my eyes. Got these in just the length I needed on eBay of all places. Used these spokes laced 3X to a Synchros Big Box 32H double eyelet wheelset after my Mavics bent going downhill and sent me flying. Have complete faith in the Super Comps and these rims because they have taken a pounding over all types of terrain and stayed true to the mm. Never had to retrue. Tensioned a bit more than usual and had to hard grease the threads to get them good and tight in the nipples but the work paid off.

Strengths: Lightest DB spoke you can buy that are strong enough for disc brake use. Usually can be bought for the same price as Comps.Weaknesses: A little of spoke windup wneh building tthe wheels. Hard to find.Bottom Line: These wheels come in at about 1500 gms and have been outstanding performers. The spokes are stiff enough that I do not notice any flex when climbing or descending. I'll repost after I have a few more miles on them.
