Are double butted spokes worth it?

Double butted spokes are lighter than straight gauge and offer better ride qualities due to a more flexible center section. Double butted spokes are generally very strong, however spokes with 1.5mm center sections can be challenging to build at higher tension due to twisting.

What does double butted spokes mean?

How much do spokes and nipples weigh?

Nipples are about 20g for 64 alloy, 60g for 64 brass (for 2.0 thread). I’d estimate your wheels (99% sure will have 2.0mm plain gauge spokes) to be about 2.5kg for the pair. if the rim weights are correct, I have 482g. Very helpful, Thanks supersonic!
