Rolf Prima TdF58

Introducing the new Carbon TdF58 wheel system. This 58mm deep-section carbon tubular wheel system delivers exceptional light weight and aerodynamic performance to triathletes, road racers and time trialers. Approved by the UCI for mass start events.

model: Carbon TdF58
wheel size: 700c
category: aerodynamic
weight: 1310g set [552g/758g]
spoke count: bladed 12F/12R
rim: tubular
hubs: Campagnolo and Shimano compatible

hubset: Carbon TdF58 wheel systems orbit around a proprietary hub designed and manufactured in the USA. The front hub features a unique 80mm 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. Black, CNC machined 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: At 395 grams, this proprietary, deep-section carbon fiber rim is light and stiff. The 58mm tall single cavity rim section offers superior lateral and torsional stiffness. Brake sidewalls are reinforced with fiberglass for improved braking performance and durability. The combination of low spoke count, exceptional aerodynamic performance and minimal rotating weight makes the Carbon TdF58 wheel system the fastest tubular wheelset available in its category.

spoke & nipple: Black custom bladed, 14 gauge spokes and internal alloy nipples with nylon inserts contribute to clean aerodynamic performance and superior, long-term durability. Patented, Jacketed Nipple Design and Dish Reducing design reduce spoke bending loads and rear wheel dish to increase spoke fatigue life.

extras: Rolf Prima Carbon TdF58 wheel systems include alloy valve extenders and titanium quick release skewers (89g / set).
