Anyone using the new Rolf Prima wheels? Impressions? Can't Post

Just wondering if anyone is using these. They look like a nice light aerodynamic wheel, but what about durability / stiffness?

Thanks

J.

I'm very seriously considering a set of these wheels too. I have a lot of buddies with Trek bikes that have Rolf wheels on them and they hold up pretty well. Here is a link to a test ride done by one of the staffers at NW Race Report:

I haven't tried them, but thus far my only issue with this wheel is that it is only available as a clincher.

Thanks for the info. I am actually considering getting the carbons when they come out, primarily for road races, and also using the front wheel on my tri bike. The alternative would probably be a set of Bontrager Carbons.
