Description
No one would claim that Lightweight lagged behind the times. After all, they made carbon rimmed wheels the norm in the pro ranks back when even Tour de France winners were riding alu rims. However, if you wanted a Lightweight wheel with the type of rim width that makes using wider tires possible, you were a little out of luck, until now. The Lightweight Meilenstein C 24E are the updated Meilensteins that offer a 24mm wide rim that can accommodate tires between 24 and 34mm wide.
These are the clincher versions of the Meilensteins as well, which will make them much more practical than the tubulars that are found on Pro Tour bikes. Lightweight has also focused on improving the braking surfaces, something that has long been a weak point in carbon clincher rims of all brands. They have used a resin in the brake track that has been added to improve braking in the wet and also prevent the braking surface from overheating. That means that you can rely on these wheels to be the best performing racing wheels in your collection, rain or shine.
The Meilenstein C 24E for rim brakes come in two different options: one with a 16/20 spoke count and one with a 20/20 count. They have nearly identical traits in terms of the 24mm width and 48mm depth. You���ll save a little weight with the front 16 spokes option barely tipping the scales at 585g while the 20 spoke front wheel weighs 600g. The rear wheel with 20 spokes comes in at 705g. Lightweight does put a 110kg rider limit on the 16 spoke front wheel, while the 20 spoke can carry up to 120kg. Keep in mind those numbers are to include the total weight of rider and bike.
If you are looking for a pair of rim brake racing wheels to get your competitive edge, you could hardly do better than the Lightweight Meilenstein C 24E carbon wheels. Aero, stiff, responsive, and of course lightweight, these are wheels that will make every race feel like you are riding on air.
