Roval Wheelset
I got this at auction (manly for the Gatorskins and the Ambrosio rims) and then discovered that it's a tubular wheel set. I was just about to set up my first tubular wheel set anyway and two tubulars I had didn't match.
First plus, I thought the bag was just a random bag the PO had used to store the wheel set but to my surprise this is a purpose built bag for wheel sets.
I googled Roval but all the sets I saw used Campagnolo hubs. Was Roval a custom wheel maker? The rims are Ambrosio but what little I found suggests they are an old set from the 70's so presumably no collector value and if that's true I will put them on my next nice frame. Hubs simply say Dura Ace and I assume they are 7400 as I found similar hubs marked 7400 for sale on eBay and this is where a problem may arise. I looked on Velo base and it said that some of the 7400s used Uniglide and some used Hyperglide cassettes. based on the photos I believe this hub is an FH-7402 or HB-7402. Can anyone advise if I am right and if so do I just look for any "Uniglide" cassette?
