Rolf Prima Elan Disc Front
Details
It sure is nice when your "workhorse" wheelset is an Elan. It is sort of like cruising the back roads in a Ferrari. Both are ready to respond as you put your feet on the pedals. Designed as a lightweight wheelset, the Elan still surprises in the wind, slicing it with ease, yet offering a generous 19.5mm internal rim width, all in a svelte 665g front wheel. These wheels are perfect for the hills, quick accelerations and the rigors of road training and racing.
Paired-spoke construction and perfect hand-built quality mean there is no sacrifice in terms of stiffness or strength, even for heavier riders.
All Rolf Prima wheels are hand-built in Eugene, OR.
Going tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction, lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces, and decreased risk of a puncture-related flat.
Tubeless-ready rims and tires are parts of a complete system that eliminate the need for tubes by creating an airtight chamber between the rim and tire. Liquid sealant is added to the chamber to fill small punctures and maintain air pressure while you ride.
UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) is a specific type of tubeless system that dictates the shape of the rim and tire beads. UST rims should be paired with UST-specific tires for best results.
