Didn't find the tip, but I let 2 spokes hang from their nipples in adjacent holes, and if they're not hanging parallel the holes are angled.

The tip that worked for me was:
"Try this - look closely at the tire-side rim hole. Peer through the hole to the hub-side hole. Get the hub-side hole visually dead center in the tire-side hole. Eyeball it closely. The sight path, through the two holes, will point to one side of the rim or the other. This shows the correct path from rim to hub flange. They will alternate flanges."

A question about a new build.
My goal is an affordable 1500 gram road disc wheelset.
I am thinking:
DT 411DB (asymmetric rear)
DT 350 (straight pull front)
DT Aerolight spokes
This for a small woman, so 28 spokes should be plenty.
Any reason to avoid the asymmetric rear rim or the straight pull front.
Also any other better value options out there? Is it a mistake to ignore some of the Chinese options, lightbicycle, farsports, etc?

I built a set of 28/28 Easton r90sl disks to 350s the other day they were 1590 with Te massive sticker set still on the rim which I reckon are worth 30-40 removed

SP spokes can be harder to find in a LBS if you're off travelling / bike packing. Other than that, no reason.

If you're doing the building, BDOP would be tough to beat price wise.

Comparing it to a clincher set with Kinlin XR31Ts with a claimed weight of 1485g for 20/24 with the same hubs and spokes and considering that the TB25s weigh 60 g per rim less, should run about 1365g for the equivalent tubular wheelset.
