I'm happy to announce that for 2012 I'll be adding Rolf Prima as a sponsor, and I'll be racing on a set of Ralos 29er race wheels.
In 1999 I got a set of Rolf Vector wheels for my road bike, and for the next 8 years I put those wheels through their paces on various road and cyclocross bikes. I probably trued them twice and adjusted the bearings on the front wheel once. The Dolomite was the top Rolf mountain bike wheel at that time and I remember seriously considering getting a set.
Rolf has gone through some changes since then and is no longer affiliated with Trek after some legal wrangling with Shimano over Rolf's paired spoke patent. The core idea of the paired spoke is unchanged, and after only offering road and 'cross models for the last few years the Ralos is Rolf's re-entry into the performance mountain bike market.
In the coming weeks I'll be making more posts about the gear I'll be using next season. Now if I could just get that YBB built before the snow flies...
