Roval Wheels

[chris42]

Anyone got/tried the Roval wheels with the funny paint splat in the middle?

Just interested as they do look very cool?

they do look very cool?

D'you think so ? I think they look awful

 

[chris42]

Yes they are so different from anything else out there.

 

[Steve Austin]

I quite like the look too

Would you go for the red splat or black splat?

 

[chris42]

Red!
As loud as possible!
they should do them in Pink for the ladies!
my wife would jump at them.

Red Fulcrum Zeros not loud enough ?

And perhaps £150 of ceramic bearings to go in them

This http://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b0s6p2314 comes as standard with red Fulcrum Zeros, which look bl**dy hideous, and it's £4699 :?:

How dare you! I have Fulcrum 0's and I reckon they are the dog's proverbials...

Not on that though - a bit of a clash...

True, true. I'd love a Cento in the traditional Wilier colours though...

 

[Keith Oates]

Agree with you there Andy, it's a total mismatch with the bluee of the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roval is a French builder who has been developing his own innovative wheels designs for years - a bit like the Rolf wheels licensed by Trek. The 'red splat' wheels are pretty heavy though, so not sure whether the extra weight is worth the benefit. The red bit does look cheap and plasticcy too - the carbon wheels are something like £1700 so not cheap. I'd rather have a pair of Boras or Fulcrum carbons at that price, plus a few hundred change.
