Rolf Prima Tandem Carbon Wheelset
Details
The culmination of 15 years of tandem performance and 20 years of paired-spoke perfection. The Tandem Carbon Wheelset belongs on your ride.
When we expanded our tandem wheel line into the world of carbon, we did it right. Tried, true, punished, and tested, these are wheels built for speed and designed to last. These tubeless, disc-specific wheels offer the light 32mm profile of our Ares3, built for the rigors of tandem riding. The new 19mm internal width is optimized for wider tires, greater strength, and improved control.
Reliably fast, guaranteed fun, and hand-built in Eugene, Oregon.
*Approved by tire manufacturer, IRC, for tubeless compatibility using IRC Formula Pro Tubeless X-Guard, 700x28c.
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.
