“My Topolino’s not only turn heads at the races, but are the lightest, stiffest wheels I have ridden. I have been using them all year on the ITU World Cup circuit and rode them to 1st place at the LA Triathlon. When you count on gear to help you make your living, you have to be confident in your choices. My Topolino’s have been flawless.”

Sarah Haskin, ITU Pro Triathlete

“We have previously praised Topolino’s C19 aluminum rimmed clincher wheels here at TgR. Since they are so good and I have plenty of experience using tubular tires, even for everyday training, I just had to get a set of its V39s. I’ve now been riding them for about two months and having an absolute blast. These wheels are real difference makers.”

Kevin D Graham, Tech Editor for TriGearReview.com

“My V39’s made the formidable assent up Mt. Washington into an amazing race. As I stood to attack in the last 200 meters I felt all my power transfer straight to the road. With each push of the pedal I jumped forward, increasing the gap and ensuring my second place finish.”

Anthony Colby, Pro road racer, 2005 Mt. Washington 2nd Place Finish

“ I have 6900 miles on them and haven’t had to tighten or true a spoke. You cannot break these wheels. Smooth on rough roads, but with good road feedback. Of course fast acceleration, but super stable on fast descents, because unlike steel spoke wheels, …these (wheels) dampen right out.”

Carl Peter Hayunga – Poughkeepsie, NY

“The wheels are very durable. Especially from the early season abuse I put them though - I was weighing about 230lbs. around the holiday season. I ride them 200 to 300 miles a week and I'm now at 215lbs. and ready for the Ride the Rockies bicycle tour.”

Nelson Vails, Olympic Silver Medalist and Sprint Champion

“Contrary to the advice of the guys at Topolino, I have beaten these things off-road like a red-headed stepchild, racing and training under conditions that would have trashed even my cyclocross wheels. The Topolinos are still running straighter than my Mormon niece and born-again grandmother combined. I now have about 600 miles on the wheels, mostly on dirt (there isn't much tarmac here) and I haven't had to pick up a spoke wrench yet."

Greg “Chopper” Randolph, former pro bike racer and US Olympian

“The Topolinos accelerate extremely fast. In addition to their light weight, they feel very stable, and are the best cornering wheels I have ever ridden.”

Mike Sayers – Pro Racer, Team Health Net

“During the legendary Westfield Road Race there were riders with flats and broken wheels lining the road. At one point, doing about 40 mph, we came upon a 10-foot section that was just rocks, not even gravel. I punctured there, and rode the last six miles to the finish on a flat front. Afterward I check the wheels, and they were perfect!”

Greg Pelican, Elite Master road racer

“When I first got the wheels I wanted to check the aerodynamics, so I took them out on my favorite 20K flat time trial course. I was amazed to find they took a minute and a half off my best time!”

Mika Luoto – Top pro Ironman triathlete (top 10 Hawaii Ironman 2003)

“Light, smooth, beautiful…Ride feel is firmer than some steel-spoked wheels, yet smooth and comfortable. Then there’s the weight. Ooohhh, do these feel good when you stomp on the pedals.”

Bicycling Magazine, August 2003

“I can’t find anything I don’t LOVE about these wheels. They’re the best wheels I’ve ever ridden, and I’ve ridden everything!”

Greg St. Johns, racer/manager Team Helen’s Cycles

“I want to let you know how much I like riding Topolino wheels. They're perfectly true after almost 1500 miles over anything but smooth pavement. They climb great because they're so light (over 300g lighter than my previous wheelset) and they're rock solid on descents. One of the most pleasant surprises is how nicely they ride- plenty stiff but not harsh at all. I don't have to grit my teeth when I see a rough section in the road coming up! Bearings front and rear are very smooth. I think that you have a great product.”

Art Miliner, A happy customer

"Topolino Wheels - Accelerate fast, quite aerodynamic, ride smooth and are impressively stiff."

Matt Phillips, www.mountainbike.com

“The Topolino is a light, stiff wheel for criteriums and road races.”

Velo News 2003 Buyer’s Guide

“The bottom line? Flawless performance and remarkably light weight. A superior product, head and shoulders above the competition.”

Jon Roberts, bike shop owner, former cat 1-2 racer
