Hi all,

Just got a used set of Roval aerodynamic wheels. They are like the ones on the Classic Rendezvous web page. I was wondering if anybody had any information on them since they seem to be unique. I'm really interested in how they are put together but don't want to take my set apart since they are true and in excellent shape. The front wheel is radially spoked with 24 spokes. The rear drive side is 20 2-cross on drive side and 10 radial on the non drive side. Also does anyone know if it is possible to replace spokes if one of these aerodynamic spokes get broken. Anyways, I think they are a really cool wheelset and will probably put them on my mid-80s PUCH Mistral Leader which is a rebadged (bianchi). Thanks in advance.
