Got a new Ambrosio Excellight rim, an old Campagnolo Daytona front hub and thinking about spokes.

First thought was boring but reliable DT comps, but i only weigh 68kgs so no weight issue, noticed that Rose sell the revolution spokes fairly cheaply.

Build would be 32hole 3x.

Am i likely to have any issues?

Yeh, dont use them on the back wheel. Get some comps or some sapim race spokes instead.

I've got Revs on my wheels on my roadyfied CX. They're fine, I even built them myself!

I weigh the same as the OP and am using superstar hubs and Crest 29er rims.

if they are built well and you are a smooth rider then you'll be fine.

Not worth it tho in that build IMO.

At least use some thicker ones on the drive side. The wheels Ive had with revs have not been as stiff as the ones with comps.
