Long term review of this time trial machine
Oct 2009 · Jeff Jones
The Rovals are OK-ish as training wheels but then another problem becomes apparent: the narrow, high flanges and low spoke count (20 per wheel) mean that the rear is subject to a lot of lateral flex (there’s no problem with the front). . .

There are plenty of time trial bikes on the market, but few can match the Transition's mix of aerodynamic proficiency and spot-on handling.
