Anyway, i guess what i'm looking at right now is doesn't the rim height matter much? Let's say 27mm vs 30 mm. Also i'm looking for bladed aero spokes, on one of the wheelsets there was a 2.3 or a 3.2 mm spoke. What difference does that make am i looking for something that is bigger or thinner? The last thing is spoke count, im guessing i want something that is on the lower side like 20 F 24 R? Or maybe even lower. Thanks for the continued help everyone.
The Rol Wheels (D'Huez model) use the Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes which are described in this link. These wheels are 20 spoke F, 24 R.
