I'm not entirely sure these were produced in the CR timeline but I built a wheel using headless Hoshi aero spokes on a vintage Campagnolo Record small flange hub many years ago that didn't require slotting the hubs. I was a little skeptical then, but the wheel has held up to thousands of miles of riding. I'd probably still be riding it if I hadn't realized how ugly it is.
