Rolf Prima’s First Carbon Clincher Wheel

Eugene, OR – The lightweight, aerodynamic Carbon TdF38 wheel system is now available with the added convenience and toughness of an alloy clincher brake track. Rolf Prima introduces the new mid-section, Carbon TdF38 Clincher wheel system for 2007.

The custom reinforced carbon rim, bladed stainless steel spokes and internal nipples deliver exceptional aerodynamic performance and wheel stiffness to professional racers as well as amateurs seeking top-level performance in an aero wheel. The mid-section carbon rims are popular with cyclists who demand absolute minimal rotating weight for quick accelerations and for scrubbing speed quickly into turns.

Weighing in at 1595 grams per set, these carbon clinchers are ideally suited for fast rides over varied terrain, but they’re also built to be durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily training. In addition, the alloy brake track provides a level of radial toughness to the rim which is where most carbon rims are vulnerable to impact damage.
All Rolf Prima carbon wheel systems are engineered to advance lightweight aerodynamic performance and were developed for individuals with top-level performance in mind. All Rolf Prima wheel systems are hand-built in Eugene, Oregon and are protected by numerous patents in the US and other countries with several non-exclusive license agreements in force.
