Congratulations!
You have chosen wisely and we thank you for purchasing the world’s finest high perfor-
mance wheel system. We build all wheels by hand and we are proud to have built them
for you.
Because there are a variety of Rolf Prima wheels, this manual may contain information
that does not apply to your wheelset. Some illustrations may show details which vary
from your wheelset. If you have any questions after reading this manual, please consult
www.rolfprima.com, your Rolf Prima dealer or contact us at info@rolfprima.com.
Please inspect and save all packaging materials that came with your wheels. If there is
any damage to the wheels or the packaging, it is important to identify it immediately.
The structural condition of your wheels and correct installation are crucial to your safety.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly before riding to ensure that your
wheel system functions properly and safely. This manual explains the recommended care,
inspection, and maintenance of your Rolf Prima wheel system. If you have any question
about the details of installation or maintenance, have a qualified bicycle dealer perform
the installation or maintenance.
If you sell or loan your Rolf Prima wheel system, please provide the new rider with this
manual.
Installation and maintenance instructions are included in this manual. Even if your
wheelset was installed by a bike shop, you should read this manual thoroughly.
A detailed service manual is available at www.rolfprima.com
Please register your wheelset at www.rolfprima.com with the serial numbers of your
wheels. These are located on the card that came with your wheels and under the rim
strip by the valve hole for clincher wheels or found on the side of the rim.
Some maintenance and repair should only be performed by your Rolf Prima dealer. Any
such service will be indicated in this manual. If you have a question or issue your dealer
cannot answer, please contact us at info@rolfprima.com.

Inspection – Before Every Ride
Before every ride be sure to inspect every item on this list to ensure your Rolf Prima
wheels are in top condition and are properly installed on your bicycle. If you find that
your wheel system requires service or further inspection, see www.rolfprima.com for our
Factory Service Program or contact your Rolf Prima dealer.
Check that the wheels run true
Check that the rims are clean
Dirty or greasy rims greatly reduce braking effectiveness and can present a significant
safety risk.
Check that the brake pads are clean and properly adjusted
Check that the tires are properly inflated
For aluminum clincher wheels, inflate tires to the inflation pressure indicated on the tire
sidewall or as indicated in the Tire Pressure section. Your rims can be damaged by riding
with insufficient tire pressure. Inspect the tires for damage or excessive wear. If you
have any questions about the condition of your tires, have them inspected by your local
bike shop.
For carbon tubular road wheels, inflate tires to a minimum of 110 psi (7.6 bar). Do not
exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
PLEASE NOTE: Rims can be damaged if ridden with insufficient tire pressure. Appropri-
ate pressure may be dependent on road conditions, rider weight and tire size. Impact
damage to rims is not covered under your Rolf Prima warranty. Many tubular tires tend to
lose significant amounts of pressure over a short period of time. It is very important that
tubular tires are checked for proper tire pressure before each ride.
Check that the quick release mechanisms are properly closed
Your wheels are equipped with quick release wheel retention mechanisms. The quick
release allows the wheel to be removed and installed without tools. For proper and safe
operation, read these instructions carefully.
WARNING!
Failure to have wheel quick release retention mechanisms properly adjusted and
closed may cause loss of control resulting in personal injury or death. If you have
any questions about the operation of this system, consult your dealer.
