This Rolf Prima Elan wheelset has about 400 miles of use! Selling due to a team wheel sponsor being picked up, these wheels sell online for $949!!! That’s online, don’t even ask about them at the local bike shop! They weigh in at 1320g on my scale with rimstrips installed!
Thse wheels are in excellent shape. The bearings are smooth and the rims have a bit of brake pad residue and you can tell they haven’t been used much! The wheels have spent most of their time in bags, except when they were hanging on the rack in the basement with the other wheels!
Put a wheel cover on this rear and It’ll be one of the lightest disc wheels out there!!!
Superlight Ti Skewers are included. The rear skewer has some marks from the trainer.
Price: I’m looking for $625 for this set, Including skewers.
Shipping: $25 anywhere in the US.
Please PM me if interested!
Below is the description from the RA Cycles website: www.racycles.com . One point that they don’t say is that the hubs are American Classic hubs. Speedgoat has the rear hub for $184 and the front for $95, without skewers!
Do Not Miss This Chance To Have Your Wheels Float You Up Hills!!!
You won’t find an alloy wheel with lower rotating weight. An excellent choice for criteriums and road courses requiring hard braking and frequent accelerations. Èlan wheels climb faster and accelerate quicker than any other wheel in its class – and is lighter than most carbon clincher wheels sold today.
Hubset: Elan wheel systems orbit around a proprietary hub designed and manufactured in the USA. The front hub features a unique 85mm wide flange placement which increases lateral wheel stiffness by nearly 20%. Patented Differential Flange Diameter™ on the rear hub lends a mechanical advantage effectively doubling the number of functional pulling spokes; increasing wheel durability. CNC machined, black anodized hub shells with oversized axles provide high strength, stiffness and light weight. Optimized flange contours provide full spoke elbow support, increasing spoke life. Hubs also feature precision cartridge bearings with low drag supplementary contact seals and bearing preload adjustment on both front and rear hub shells.
Freehub mechanism: CNC machined Titanium freehub body has 3 sprung steel pawls for a bomb-proof torque transfer system. Pawls are driven by 3 hardened steel leaf springs. The system is strong, simple and dependable.
Rims: The Elan rim is a single cavity, semi-aero rim profile with a narrow spoke bed to minimize weight. The rims are 23mm tall with CNC-machined brake sidewalls for smooth, consistent braking performance.
Spoke & Nipple: Black, 14 / 17 gauge custom butted profile spokes with wrench flats. Internal alloy nipples minimize rotating mass and contribute to quicker accelerating, faster climbing wheels. Patented, Self Aligning Nipple™ design significantly increases spoke fatigue life. Self-locking thread technology ensures wheels stay true longer.
Extras: Rolf Prima wheel systems include custom reinforced rim tape and quick release skewers.
