The wheel shop in Phoenix-one in Tucson as well-top class work, I would expect the threads would be rolled-they do auto wire wheels etc.

good point i forgot you run different surfaces in the usa than we do here in australia.some guys have tried the usa flattrack tyres but if you have a race up to 3 races after the track is watered the tyres just clog up and you slide all over the place with both wheels
when i get my gp5 from the usa it will be 21 front 18 rear with mich/or v rubber trials tyres

James,
I tried the wheel shop in Phoenix, but the quote they gave me for cutting the spokes and rolling them was more
than if I just reordered 36 new spokes from Buchanan.  It's sad that I have over 1,000 Montesa spokes in stock
and no nipples! (different thread pitch than the Buchanan's)
