Hubset: All Vigor Tandem wheel systems orbit around a proprietary hub designed and manufactured in the USA. 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. All hubs feature bearing preload adjustment on both front and rear hubs and spec precision cartridge bearings with low drag supplementary contact seals. Vigor Tandem rear hubs are compatible with drum or disc brake with use of thread-on adapter sold separately. Available in 145mm dropout spacing only.

Freehub mechanism: CNC machined steel 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 520 grams, these tandem-specific rims use a 34mm tall single cavity rim section, but with a heavier wall thickness than the regular Vigor for added strength. The lightest deep section alloy rim available for tandems. This combination of aerodynamic performance and minimal rotating weight makes Vigor - Tandem wheels the fastest low spoke count wheels available in the tandem wheel class.

Spoke & nipple: 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 wheel systems include custom width reinforced rim tape and Steel quick release skewers (109g / set).
