  1. Where can you buy the new Rolf Wheels? They seem to be selling like hotcakes, but where?

    Here:

    Same thing as the Rolf Vigor, but better.

  3. I'm a typical rbr fatty, I'm sure I would flatten those wheels. I need some wheels with some beef in
    them, like Rolfs.

  4. Then you are better off with the amclassics. You can add spokes to them. The Rolfs are the same rim
    but you can't change the specs.

    Don't know where you live, but we sell them, and your local shop shouldn't have that much trouble
    ordering them. Production is a bit back-logged at the moment though (about a two-week waiting list
    at the moment).

    Nick is right. Also, with Rolf's paired spoke lacing, if your fatty rbr ass hits a pot hole and
    you break a spoke, you will be thumbing a ride home. With the American Classic wheels, you will
    have to open your break calipers, and twist the broken spoke around another. But, you will able to
    ride it home.

    Just my $0.02.

    Funny that is the same thing I did with My Vector Pros when I blew a spoke Dave

    There's a misconception that paired-spoke wheels would have a problem is a single spoke failed, but
    my experience has shown that not to be the case. I lost a rear spoke on a Rolf Vector Pro a couple
    years ago and had no issue riding home (and the chainstay clearance on my Y-Foil wasn't very large).
    And then last week I was riding with a guy on a time trial bike (TREK Hilo) who broke a front spoke
    on a 650C Vector Pro (severe corrosion; the guy lives in a fog bank near the ocean). Same thing; he
    kept riding without a problem.

    Good of you to delete the part of BS's original post which said "if your fatty rbr ass hits a pot
    hole and you break a spoke" since you are so obviously a fat rbr ass.

    Max, less fat rbr ass than DH, Laycock

    could do this with an American classic wheel", "I said I did the same with a Rolf."
