this is just from my experiance. Rolfs, the old ones are not the lightest and they flex under hard acceleration (mine do). However they are a great ride. Other than that Mavic Ksyriums are the next set on my list, becuase i have heard nothing but good things about them.

I noticed Rolf stopped the old line on 2001. would it be an issue to purchase the old stock brand new? e.g. the Rolf Comp.
