Do your clincher rims have a maximum psi?

Yes, while many tires are rated to over 160psi, we suggest that you not exceed 130psi. Ride quality and traction are often compromised at pressures over 130psi.

What are the recommended rider weight limits for ROL wheels?

VOLANT - 220lbs (100kg)
VOLANT R/T - 240lbs (109kg)
RACE SL - 210lbs (95kg)
RACE SLR - 240lbs (109kg)
D'HUEZ - 190lbs (86kg)
D'HUEZ 24/28 - 220lbs (100kg)
CARBON M45 - 240lbs (109kg)
CARBON C50 - 240lbs (109kg)
CARBON C25R - 220lbs (100kg)
CARBON C45R - 240lbs (109kg)

NOTE: Roadies and Triathletes exceeding the recommended weight limits on the Volant, Race SL, and D'Huez should consider a higher spoke-count (24/28) build found in the Volant R/T, the Race SLR, and the D'Huez 24/28. A few extra spokes at just 4 grams each will provide improved strength and lateral stiffness. Heavier or more powerful riders require added stiffness for adequate and safe power transmission.

Are your hubs Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM compatible?

Yes, all of our hubs can be prepared with either Shimano, Campagnolo or SRAM compatible cassette bodies. All of our Shimano cassettes bodies will accommodate 8, 9, and 10 speed Shimano as well as the new SRAM RED, FORCE and RIVAL cassettes. If ordering Shimano 11, please specify Shimano 11 in the notes section when placing your order

For Campagnolo, we support 9, 10 and 11 speed. For the Race SL, D’Huez, and Carbon wheels, please specify 11 speed on the order and a special spacer will be provided.

Do your wheels come with extra spokes?

Yes. All our wheels come with one extra spoke for each spoke length used in the wheelset purchased.

If I break a spoke, do I need to send the wheel back to ROL Wheels?

No, in the unlikely event that you break a spoke, any qualified mechanic can replace the spoke with a standard J-Bend spoke and get you back on the road. It is important however that your mechanic bring the wheel to high and consistent spoke tension. We can provide spoke tension “spec” to your favorite bike shop upon request.

How are ROL's hubs differentiated from others competitors?

ROL hubs are designed and manufactured to ROL's exacting standards. Otimized hub geometry, weight, and bearing sizes and quality are the primary differences. All front hubs employ the standard 2-bearing design and the rear hubs employ a 4-bearing design.

Do you build PowerTap wheels?

Yes, we custom build our RACE SL, RACE SLR, and all of our Carbon models with the PowerTap SL+ hub. Please contact us with questions at info@rolwheels.com.
