Normally I use linseed oil, but recently I've been applying DT Spoke Freeze after the wheel is laced, but before I add any spoke tension. So far so good.
Oh and brass Squorx nipples for my high end builds, regular brass for everything else. Unless the customer is deliberately trying to save weight, then I'll use alloy. Alpine III spokes for e-bikes and heavier riders, Comp/Comp Race for everything else. 32h 3x unless otherwise noted.
Does DT still make the supercomp spokes? My current wheels are ex471’s on 240s with supercomp front, comp rear and pro lock brass nipples. Thought it might add a little compliance with the thinner spokes. Haven’t seen them for sale in a few years though.

How very practical and not exciting of you.
No pizzazz? Alternating blue and red nipple? Twisted spokes?

No, I work at a bike shop. Customers don't appreciate pizzazz. They want a solid wheelset that's not going to fail on them, and I want to keep my job.
Does anyone know the cable pull or derailleur ratios for the trp stuff? I'd love to get the DH7 derailleur shifting across a reduced 12s cassette, but it's based on 11-speed spacing.
I wonder if you could put a short cage on an Eagle derailleur. Semenuk runs an AXS Eagle derailleur with an X01 DH cage. To me that means you might be able to run the same cage on a regular Eagle derailleur.
