Strengths: Stiff and responsive, aero and handle 35 mph cross-winds well, sure-footed at 50mph descent, remain true over quite bumpy surfaces.Weaknesses: NONE!!!Bottom Line: The Rolf Vector Comp wheels came with my LeMond Zurich perchased in 2001. I weigh 165 and average 3000-4000 miles per year. What can I say, the wheels have over 30,000 miles and finally I'll be replacing them because of rim wear from brakes. Never had to true them up, never broke a spoke. they are as close to bullet-proof as anything.
Favorite Ride: Boulder to Carter Lake
Purchased At: Wheat Ridge Cyclery,
Similar Products Used: This my first and only serious road bike
Bike Setup: LeMond Zurich 853 steel frame, Ultegra triple chain ring combined with 12-25 cluster, Vittoria Rubino 25mm tires

Strengths: lighter overall wieghtWeaknesses: hubs, rims, reliability, stiffnessBottom Line: First few months riding these wheels I noticed that the they are a bit lighter overall but the rims are a bit heavier that most entry level wheels (mavic, easton, fulcrum, ect.) so the are a harder to get up to speed and once they are there they ride like a dream. I have had problems with the hubs and rims, I have done six hub overhauls and four truings for both the front and rear due to the paired spokes and old bearings. If these wheels find a good home and have an owner who doesn't beat the s*** out of them racing they are great and will last forever. For racing and hard traing these are one of the least reliable wheels I have ever owned.

Strengths: Extremely strong! Very little maintenance required.Weaknesses: There are lighter wheels out there, if you care about that. Also: these are out of production and you can't get parts.Bottom Line: These wheels came on my Klein, and I was astonished when the rear lasted 3x longer than any other wheel, including one with 36 heavy duty spokes. I always had trouble with wheels: broken axles, spokes, nipples, etc., until Rolf came into my life. Now I am sad because parts are not available for these any more. For a few years I had the rear rebuilt when the rim began to crack, at about 8k-10k miles, but I guess I'm done with that now.

Strengths: absolutely bombproof
roll nicely (hold speed)Weaknesses: on the heavy sideBottom Line: I've used these wheels for training off and on since 2001, because I can't find anything that is more bombproof. I wouldn't want to race on them (they're an oafish 1900g for the set) but for training they are perfect. The set I have must have at least 20k miles on them and I've adjusted the rear hub once and never had to true the wheels. I'm a pretty light rider, but after 20k miles you would think that they would have come out of true at least a little bit...
Favorite Ride: anything
Purchased At: found them in my bas
Similar Products Used: various hubs matched with open pro rims
