I have this set of hubs that have been slotted for bladed spokes.
Can I relace them with normal spokes?
Any pros / cons?

Some hubs have flanges made specifically for a specific type of spoke such as those that require straight-pull. If the hub has standard holes for L-bend spokes then you should be fine.
