good question, i had to go check. the answer is no: expert level bikes come
with roval traverse wheels; comp bikes come with roval rims laced to
specialized hi lo hubs. what the difference? unclear, but i managed to put a
few dings in the comp rims in short order where the expert rims showed no wear
or damage after months of riding, which suggests the traverse rims are made of
harder material
