where can I find a new or used Rolf hub?

Hi all, would any of you be able to point me to a place to buy a new or used Rolf rear hub (for Vector Comp pro) which would fit a shimano 9 cassette? These seem to be rather rare as I search on the web, and I don't even have an idea of what they sell for.
Thanks!

The Rolf Vector stuff is from Trek. Have you tried calling them?

Trek: (800) 879-8735.

I had a Rolf Hub to fail. Trek warrented the wheelset. They told me the hub was manufactured by DT Swiss. You need to contact Trek or DT Swiss for a replacemant.

Man, look at that hub! Sweeeet =]

Yeah, the old stuff you need to look to Trek for a replacement. The hubs were made by DT/Swiss, but are not a DT product, so calling them won't get you any results.
It's possible that the new hubs might be compatible ( Made by White Industries ). Check out the new Rolf website https://www.rolfprima.com

Seriously awesome wheels - paired spoke technology being what I believe is one of the best 'new' ideas around. ( Said in reference to the technology thread )

Quite correct - that's a DT Hugi hub, relabeled with the Rolf name. Early Vector Pro wheelsets had silver hubs with DT/Hugi name on them. There have been instances of the rear hub cracking around the spoke holes, though not too often.

Only place I've ever seen these turn up is ebay - look for either a Rolf or DT hub with 16 holes.
