I'm sure this has been done to death over the years so apologies in advance! Is the normal wisdom still brass over alloy nipples? I know Cycleclinic likes alloy well enough. I'd prefer to go for black and the options are less for black in brass.
I've got the option to use either dt swiss aero comp or sapim cx ray when building my wheels (kinlin xr31t rims, Campag record hubs) both at cost price. The sapim's are a bit more expensive, any particular difference between the two?
