There were at least two combinations of Roval wheelsets. I have one pair with 24/18 and another pair with 18/16. I wonder which, if any of these, I should be riding at around 180 lbs.
They do feel nice but there must be some slop in the 16 spoked front wheel at the hub. It is true and tight but induces a nasty low speed shimmy - manageable but unpleasant on my Holdsworth Professional and purely outrageous when fitted to my DeRosa SLX Professional. Need to fuss with it and would welcome any Roval tips and tricks.
