HAND BUILT IN DENVER COLORADO

PLEASE ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY ON CHRIS KING HUBS.

OVERVIEW

The C35 is a lightweight, fast and comfortable precision tool for the serious adventurer.  The shallower 35mm rim profile handles confidently in cross-winds, while their momentum carries speed well.  The greatest single contributor to the design of our new rim profiles is the blunt, "bullnose" shape of its "spoke face".  Designed using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics), we labored to create a profile that would slice through the air at any yaw angle while increasing crosswind stability.  Here are some features of our new design:

High TG Rim Brake Track

Our resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster between braking efforts. Gain confidence inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wet conditions with our matching brake pads.

Grooved Graphene Brake Track - Option Add $120 per wheelset

As an upgrade option, we have the Grooved Graphene Brake Track, Our graphene version of the High TG brake track has even greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in the wet and brings more resistance when conditions are dry, so less force at the lever is required.

Tubeless Compatible Technology

All of our rims are tubeless compatible with bead seat retention. In most cases a floor pump is needed to seal our rims. The bead shape, bead seat and outer diameter is tailored according to each rim width in order to achieve the best fit. Tubeless (no tube) systems are designed to run at lower pressures than tube systems without any negative effects. Lower rolling resistance, decreased rotational weight and flat resistance are all significant improvements.

Our rims are made with the highest quality, highest temperature unidirectional carbon pre-preg available to the civilian market delivering consistent, worry-free braking performance.

Premium bladed spokes and locking nipples yield a durable and reliable wheelset for years to come. Every wheelset is hand built to perfection in Colorado.  

Hub Color

Our wheelsets are standard with black hubs. If you would like to order hubs with a specific color, please contact tom@rolwheels.com. We will offer specials on color hubs at certain times through the season. There are chances that colored hubs will have longer lead times.

OVERVIEW

For criteriums, triathlons, flat-to-rolling road races and even cyclocross, our all-carbon clincher wheelset is fast, light and comfortable. The C45 uses a mid-depth rim: it's light enough to accelerate and climb and a joy in cross winds, while its aerodynamics make you feel like you have an added gear at race speeds.

The C45 measures 30mm at its widest point - a bit wider than most to improve the tire's aerodynamics and widen its contact patch for better handling. You'll get more out of your chosen tires with a wider rim. Our rims are made with the highest quality, highest temperature unidirectional carbon pre-preg available to the civilian market delivering consistent, worry-free braking performance.

HAND BUILT IN DENVER COLORADO

The Race SL wheelset is a leader in wheel performance and value among today's road bike wheels. With its wide, aero rim and SAPIM blade spokes, the Race SL wheel set packs more performance and ride quality than many bike wheel sets twice its price.

OVERVIEW

Our best-selling alloy clincher wheelset is the Race SL and a favorite with racers and enthusiasts looking for a wheelset with precise handling, ride quality and speed. It's the perfect wheelset for road racing, criteriums and triathlon. It's already one of the best-reviewed bike wheels on the market and for 2014 we made it even better.

We've improved the Race SL wheelset with a new rim profile that is wider and stiffer. At 23mm wide, our new rim design improves tire performance by shortening the tire's sidewalls and producing a wider contact patch.  The 30mm rim profile provides confidence-inspiring turning as well as the stiffness and aerodynamics that seasoned riders demand. 

We lace our innovative rim to our own ROL hubs, designed with years of wheel building experience. The hubs minimize the spoke tension differential on the rear wheel, producing a more evenly tensioned wheel for maximum durability. To complete the package we spec'd the sought after Sapim CX-Ray spokes and lightweight alloy DT SWISS ProLock nipples.

At 1,555 grams, the Race SL wheelset provides a lively ride you'll appreciate when you accelerate out of crit corners, or head out for the county line sprint.

Recommend rider weight limit is 95kg/210lbs.

The VOLANT wheelset is regarded as one of the best wheels in its class. From its wide-stance 23mm rim to its 3-D forged ROL hubset and DT SWISS Competition spokes, there isn't a set of road bike wheelset packing this much technology and ride quality for $600.

OVERVIEW

The Volant is a modern classic: hardworking, lively and reliable. It's a wheelset perfect for putting in long training rides on questionable roads and still quick enough for a spirited group lunch ride or a weekend race. The Volant was our first wheel model and this year we upgraded it with a wider rim for better handling, DT's double-butted stainless steel Competition spokes and our own carefully designed hubs.

The Volant is a popular upgrade wheel — at well under 1,700 grams, it's likely significantly svelter than the wheelset that came on your bike, while offering reliable U.S. wheel building and a wide profile rim for better handling.

The Volant features our smart new hubs, designed in-house to minimize spoke tension differential on the rear wheel. That means you get a more evenly tensioned wheel for reliability. Combine that with the industry's most respected lightweight spokes and you'll be spinning trouble free for a long time.
