The Aero Comp is 1.2mm wide at the blade (vs. DT Aerolite's 0.9mm), making it a great choice for MTB, cyclocross, road riders with a heavy training schedule or anyone emphasizing lateral stiffness with the advantages of a bladed spoke. The Aero Comp can be used in any hub without slotting due to its 2.0/1.2/2.3mm flat cross-section.
Technical information:
NOTE: The optional alloy nipples offered for sale with your spoke purchase are the Wheelbuilder High Strength Aluminum Nipples.
Super durable bladed spokes and still keeping a smooth ride like DT Swiss's double butted competition spokes. The Aero comps don't wrap too badly making them easier to build with compared to the Aerolites. Great service and shipping from Wheel Builder.
I have built two gravel bike wheelsets around these - both 650b and 700c, and using the squorx nipples. Easy to true up and tension.
Both sets see hard use on gravel up through blue single track, and with 1000 miles on have not had to true or fix a broken spoke.
