Review on DT Competition 2.0Black: Top-rated Cycling Spokes for Superior Performance by Kyle Miller

I bought these spokes to build a pair of wheels myself. I combined them with a set of DT Swiss 350 hubs and WTB Frequency i19 rims. I will use them for cross country and marathons. I used the dtswiss.com spoke calculator and followed Sheldon Brown's instructions to assemble the wheels. I won't say it's easy, but it's not that hard to put together. I choose knitting needles for the quality and this model for the slight weight reduction. The wheels are perfect. If you are looking for a similar project, you are welcome to use these knitting needles.
