12m Cambridge rolls

[Gruffalo]

Wastson. Claydon make a set now as well. Don’t forget vaderstad.

Have just sold a set of Vaderstad rollex, not really heavy enough but don’t want to end up with something that’s too heavy

We have a set of 12.3m Simba built in the 90’s when stuff used to be built properly out of steel twice as heavy as needed

If you can find any (they are rare) buy them !

Tyres need an upgrade though for more modern travel speeds

I had a set of Vaddy rollers before the Dalbo’s

They were a great set, pretty much indestructible. New Vaddy rollers are priced out of the market though.

NRH here - very pleased. Again I wish I'd had (the option of) brakes on the wheels. Only other downside is the paintwork as previously mentioned on here thought apparently it's ok on new ones.

Set of 12m Twose here. New to us in the spring, but about 7 years old. Love them and the coverage, jumping up from 6m. Decent heavy set with 24" rings. Only thing as mentioned above is the folding/unfolding! You just have to be a bit steady.

I think the new ones fold better.

Think this one set will outlast me ! Built like a brick outhouse !

WE have 12m NRH. Great rolls. Had to reseal a ram, otherwise faultless. Nice small company to deal with too.

Love mine & managed to get them to repaint

Well done. They’re great rollers but such a pity they look so shabby with paint peeling. Wish mine had been repainted.

I hope they do, but my budget could not stretch to newer ones. Not sure on the OPs budget, and just guessing that they might be looking at something similar age to what we bought. I am not too bothered about the folding of ours, just a niggle really. And on the whole I am happy with them.

Cousins are great but go for the ones that fold horizontally and not vertically as vertical ones easy to top over. Beware of how some rolls fold especially when well used.

We are in the process of buying a set of rolls with leveling boards either 6 or 8 m from heva, vaddy, or dalbo
6m dalbo and vaddy approx £15600
6m heva £17500
8m dalbo £17000
Would these prices be close to the mark and should we be considering any others?

Extra width seems cheap.....
But every thing seems expensive to me......
I have 12m rolls- 2x 6m....... cheap as chips

That's why I'd hoped to compare prices grants have led to some speculative pricing

A grant for rolls? ...... surely not!

 

[RLC]

Go for Dalbo. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

 

[JD6920s]

As above, dal-bo are excellent, and you pressurise them to get even pressure across the full width, not like some that have the outer wings bobbing up and down.

Someone local has just bought a set but with the snowflake rings. Seriously heavy!
