Rolf wheels
 

Building up a new bike and considering these once more.

Any lovers or haters here?

Will appreciate input from folks who have actually ridden Rolf for a while.

I put a set of the old Vector Pro's on my Colnago in year 2000, lots of training, a number of races and they have never missed a beat. On the downhills, I seem to freewheel faster than most and anything above 25mph I always feel as if there is a slight advantage, it could be just perception.

Anyways, the only time ever I had to do tweak one, was when a squirrel got churned through the forks, bending one spoke ever so slightly. Pic below.

Any other experience appreciated.

jeez...poor guy didn't even come close to making it through! And with so much space!

I have a set of Rolf Vigor RS wheels on my Roadeo. I can't fault them so far; I've been riding since the beginning of the year with them and I find them stiff, quick to spin up, brake well, and they roll smoothly....look cool too. I like the wider brake track...I think these are 22mm wide, so I can put 25mm or even 32mm tires (which I am riding on now) on them pretty easily. My LBS is a Rolf dealer, and they kinda talked me into these, but I think the recommendation was solid. Great wheels.


BTW, nice Colnago.

Here is a picture of my Roadeo with the Rolfs...if it comes up
