    No, but if you know the owner tell him to throw away that Spinergy back wheel.
    Here in the states they are not allowed in races because of failure problems.
    They simply fall apart without warning. Happened to two people that I know
    personally and they were the only people I knew that had them.

    My understanding is that in UK you cannot race with them but TT is ok.

    You are not allowed in bunch races with any wheels with less than 16 spokes in the UK, let alone these little beauties with razor-sharp blade spokes.

    I've got a pair of those Spinergys on my TT bike - bloody fast wheels (although heavy by todays standards) and no probs encountered with reliability after 10 years!

    Coincidentally, there's a feature on them in this month ProCycling from back in the day when everyone in the bunch was winning races on them.

    Not true - Rolf Prima Vigors with 14 spokes are allowed for instance http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/News/2 ... eels.shtml

    Alpina forks, and the general shape of it make me think of a Dolan aluminum jobby, or whatever they are before being shipped over and rebadged.

    Picky, picky, picky :wink:

    The current BC Road Rules doth state:
    For massed start competitions in the disciplines road and cyclo-cross only wheel designs granted prior approval by the UCI may be used. Wheels will have at least 12 spokes; spokes can be round, flattened or oval, as far as no dimension of their sections exceeds 10 mm. In order to be granted approval wheels must have passed a rupture test as prescribed by the UCI in a laboratory approved by the UCI. The test results must show that the rupture characteristics obtained are compatible with those resulting from an impact sustained during normal use of the wheel. The following criteria must be fulfilled:
    • On impact, no element of the wheel may become detached and be expelled outwards.
    • The rupture must not present any shattered or broken off elements, or any sharp or serrated surfaces that could harm the user, other riders and/or third parties.
    • The rupture characteristics must not cause the hub to become separated from the rim in such a way that the wheel becomes detached from the forks.
    Without prejudice to the tests imposed by the laws, regulations or customs, standard (traditional) wheels are exempted from the rupture test referred to above. A traditional wheel is deemed to be a wheel with at least 16 metal spokes; the spokes may be round, flat or oval, provided that no dimension of their cross sections exceeds 2.4 mm; the section of the rim must not exceed 2.5 cm on each side.

    Like the commissaires!

    Not sure why you highlighted that bit in red. Despite having more than 16 spokes, Easton Tempest, FSA RD600, DT1850 and Mavic R-Sys amongst others are all non-standard wheels for various reasons, the difference being that none of those are on the current UCI approved list, hence unlike the 14-spoke Rolfs (or even the Vuelta Carbon Pro with only 12 spokes) aren't legal for road racing in the UK!

    Because that was the bit I'd obviously remembered reading and thought that any 16+ spoke wheel would be OK! :oops:
