tricky for building a wheel because of their extremely low torsional rigidity - they'll wind up just looking at them...

I'd stick with the nickel plated brass nipples because of aluminum's tendency to gall with stainless steel.

One of my friends built a wheel with titanium spokes - swears that he'll never do that again. They stretch and stretch and stretch.....
