Should you wear a helmet? - ask these dudes

I really think that is NOT correct.


  • I see no Rolf wheels with shiny machined inner rim surfaces.

  • Assuming the wheels were a set then it is also clear that it is
    not parallel spoke arrangement as used on all Rolf wheels.

  • Nor do any Rolf wheels have logos extending over 90° around the
    rim

#13 is the money shot. This is a fairly good reason to wear a helmet. Al=
so note the spokes flying wild, totally disconnected from the rim.

Looks like Rolf maybe?

Doesn't look like any Rolf I've seen. Looks like one of those furrin'
wheels. Photo #5 shows a pretty good angle.
