Rolf Vector Wheelset
 

Hi all!

These are non pro/comp wheels, plain ol' Rolf Vector. I'm still new to cycling and want to know if the rear is a hub or freewheel. I have NO idea how to tell when assembled.

I pulled these pics off of eBay but my set (except the brand of rear cluster) is the same. I've looked in many many places for the answer but find different answers.

Thanks so much in advance!

It's a hub with a cassette body / cassette on it. All wheels have hubs, that is the part that the spokes connect to on the end that isn't the rim.

I mean where the cluster attaches to the wheel. Is it a freewheel or a freehub?

Which one am I :P

It's a freehub.

:thumb: Thank you sir!

Looks like a nine speed. Shimano or sram will work well. As an aside, a campy drivetrain (shifters AND deraileurs) will shift a 9s "S" brand cassette just fine. At least it does on my bike with this setup. Just be sure to pick up a 9 speed chain as well.

Any "hyperglide" lockring tool will work.

To fully take this home: this wheel has 130mm OLD spacing and will take 8/9/10 speed cassettes, and a 7 speed with a spacer to fill in the gap left by the missing cog.

wow! thanks a lot! very helpful!

I'm STILL running (2 sets)
Rolf Vector/Comps!
They've been good to me, quiet,are easy & quick to tune when they need it, upgraded one set to ceramics, extra parts should I really need.
A blue set & a red set
The blue I got for <$50. for my
Miyata 1400A
The red came mounted on my
Fondriest Carbon Lex.
The blue suffered chainsuk carnage to the 5 inners! Still rideable if I mind the nasty stuff, but.....
Now & again somebody has matched pairs on eBay for...*$30./set* !!!!!
I held out 2 1/2yrs..finally came a fella that gave me 6 matched pr. for
~$40.~ !!!! Boufht, paid for, delivered, perfect & worth every penny & allll the search in.
So, I put them aside for one of those wintery blizzard day inside by the fireplace kinda projects. . ...
And....um.....WELL '?!?
REEEAL nifty spot I stashed 'um in. ..(senior moment, wait..I'm only 50)
you got it, your guess is good as any
high n lo, sidewaz & everything....can't locate the* #%^~°¿¡ '!'!!
ANYbody got or hear of a stash, maybe a decapitated rear or? ????
I been happy with them, often run
1red/1blue each bike n they're good nuff for me.
Here's the particulars ;
~288 DT Aero 2.0/1.3 x5~
'99 &'00 Rolf/Vector Comps ran
DT Swiss Onyx hubs.
It's the drive side I really need but am open minded as far as your particular case, an entire wheel isn't necessarily out of the pic., but you may have guessed I'm usually on a real tight budget. But hey, let's see if we can work it out.
I've still got the original 105 wheels for the Miyata a bought a used set of Aksium Race, ...
Nostalgia I guess.

Thanx for your time & all
Keep the rubber side down
Ride ONNNNNN
