I just had to get off my duff and get some spokes. I still need to pick up some for the rear.

For the front I went with BHS SLF71W

I chose DT Revolutions for the front. I may go thicker in the rear.

I am pleased with the overall weight

As for a test ride. It maybe a while. Its 9 degrees F and snowing. However they did build up easier then I expected.

Was basically given the spoke for the rear. Otherwise I would have a hard time running champion spokes. If I need another project I might redo the rear and save 50g. Total weight 1356g. Cost ~$250 USD

I'm guessing the TB-20 is the same thing as the BHS TB415w? (well, the other way around really)

The dimensions sound the same and weights seem close enough taking into account they could be from a few different batches?
