Ken: "why not just build a new set of wheels?"
In that case, does anyone have an ambrosio montreal 32 H annodised grey tubular? I only need one. I don't think these bladded spokes will damage the holes, at first I didn't even notice they were bladded, I would say they are more flattened, if the flat area is wider then it is only a fraction of a mm, but I have not dealt with these spokes before.

why not just build a new set of wheels? And please don't screw up the hub holes in using those ugly bladed spokes. A spare set of wheels is not a bad thing.
