nice wheels. looks like you have your pads set a little low. would suck if they started taking paint off the rim.

Nice - I love mine.
Won't be long before you ask yourself - "should I lose the decals?"
Every owner does. I fought the urge until I had to get the rear wheel rebuilt - then I peeled them off.
Enjoy - see you soon.

Bonty selects are 1800g and already reduced spoke count; do you really notice that much difference? 3/4 of a pound lighter and a bit better profile... seems like a lot of money.

Nice Wheels. I'm O.K. in that department, but where did you get the bike stand?

Has any one who rides the Vigors also riden the Vector Pros? I ride the Vector Pros and at some point will end up replacing them and have wondered about the new Rolfs. I have not had one problem with the VPs. Never had to true them in 4 years of use. No spoke breakage, no hub problems.

The Vector Pros became the Bonty Race X-Lite Aero's, which evolved into the Vigors once Rolf re-established his own company.
I have the Aeros and the Vigors - can't go wrong with either. I think you'll find the Vigors pretty much the same, only lighter, as the VP's.
