DT Revolution. Length is on the wheel sticker. Replacement is a PIT
because of windup so buy the new spoke plier that you use to preven
windup. Or invest in a preloading type truing stand

The spoke length required for a Rolf Sestriere is listed on the decal on the
side of the rim (a nice feature I wish we'd see more often!). Any
lightweight (15/17) db spoke will do just fine, nothing special that
requires a specific spoke.

While were talking about these (nice IMHO) wheels, how about
replacment rims? Availiable?

Only from Trek. I've looked and there isn't an equivalent rim diameter
available in the States. Now a trek over to Taiwan will probably get
you a rolled extrusion but...

Trek quotes about $100 for rim replacement.

They were available not too long ago, but haven't checked lately. You can
probably substitute the newer Bontrager rims with the offset spoke bed
(reduced dish on the rear wheel), but I'm not sure what effect that will
have on spoke length.
