Alright so I have narrowed down my wheelbuild. Im gonna go with a DT swiss 240s on 4.1d rims. I want to build up my wheel so there are dt competitions at the shop. Originally I was going to go with the Supercomps but I cant seem to find them anywhere, our shop doesnt have any and I dont feel like ordering 3 boxes of supercomps.
So should I go with the competitions or the supercomps. I know the supercomps are a bit stronger and II think im only going to be saving 30 gms, but its rotation weight! Oh and I ride mostly agressive XC with my NRS (might be a trance soon).

I thought competitions were stronger thne supercomps? Personally i'd go with supercomps if you can, if you can't.. then you already know the answer

Go with Supercomps. They build up fairly easily and are plenty stiff and strong for my 155lbs. PM me for a great source for Supercomps...I got them for around $85 for 64 spokes and alloy nips.

Depends on how much you weigh. Comps will build a more durable wheel than SC's, all else being equal.

You won't notice the extra 30g, but you will notice the extra cash in your wallet. Or, if you don't have a wallet, you'll save enough to buy one...
