Rolf Vector Carbon

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I just got my pair today and I am doing the “Three Day Program” on the wheel mounting (this is my first tubular so I figured I should do it right). I haven’t ridden these things, but the first thing that I noticed out of the box is, “Damn! These things are light!” Well… light compared to my Vector Pros, I’m sure there are lighter rings out there. Can’t wait to tackle the hills on these hoops.

Price Paid:  $1600.00 at Rolf himself

Favorite Ride:
Mt. Baldy

Bike Setup:
Trek 5900 frame/fork, Deda Mag 61 stem, Easton carbon bar, Bold Ti seatpost, Gipiemme carbon stealth saddle, Phil mag/ti BB, FSA carbon cranks, Speedplay X/1 pedals, TA rings, Campy 9 speed Ti cassette, Shimano 7700 FD, Sachs PC89R chain, Campy 2001 9 speed carbon levers and carbon RD, Brew calipers, Veloflex Record tubular tires, (12.65lbs total)

Summary:
These wheels are very easy to TT up hills and fast blazing down!! I would, however, use these for special events only due to the high cost--boy there a joy to ride though.

Strengths:
Very very stiff ride when sprinting and taking corners over 30mph

Weaknesses:
need a wad of $100 bills to get them
