Hi Jerry.
Spokes have improved a great deal over the last few years, so much so that I don't see any point in using the older inferior types. My personal favorites are DT's, and I have build many a a wheel set using these over the last two decades. I weight 195, have been putting allot of miles on my bikes, and have never broken a DT spoke. I want to enjoy the ride, not bum a ride home with a broken wheel.
