They are a bit on the heavy side, and I would def get an e-assist for the hills if I got a Rolo.
Yeah, Rotos are more durable. A guy going across Australia hit a roo with his. Punched the dent back out and kept going. They're really not all that heavy, either - well within the 'normal' range. I was seriously looking at them, until the thread on BROL unveiled that they're not any faster than the bikes I'm already riding. So the only advantage they'd have for me is weather protection. Now, if there was an easy-to-implement trick to make them 3-4 mph faster, I'd reconsider.
