The Rovals are such a great wheelset. Strong, smooth bearings, great rims, and they hold true like no other wheels I've ever ridden. Plus, the sound the bladed spokes make as they rotate at 15mph--- absolutely mesmerizing!
Based on the limited responses and the fact that this 9-year-old thread only has 19 total comments/replies, the vintage Roval Wheels did not make a strong appearance here in the US.
Wondering if someone had a threading machine, you could use the front spokes, but forgot how close to the nipple the bladed version comes.
