Description
Undoubtedly you love your rim brake bike. That���s why treating it and yourself to a pair of the Lightweight Meilenstein T 24E Schwarz Edition tubular wheels for rim brakes is the best way to show your love and devotion.
And honestly, is there a slicker looking set of wheels than the Meilenstein Schwarz Edition? With their classic 48mm profile and Black on Black graphics, they look fast and fancy without screaming branding or marketing acronyms. They are understated and impressive, not to mention wonderfully light and stiff. Accelerations are crazy fast especially with the Schwarz Edition, thanks not only to how Lightweight developers have designed each part of the wheel but also because all ceramic bearings come from the specialists at Ceramic Speed.
The rear wheel is available in a 20 spoke version while the front can be ordered either with 20 spokes or a very light 16 spoke option. But even though the spoke count is low, the durability is high thanks to how Lightweight treats the spokes and the interface with the rims. By weaving the spoke hole into the fabric of the rim and then bonding the spoke inside, they have ensured no need for truing down the line. Then for rim brake Meilensteins, Lightweight uses DT Swiss 240 hubs in the rear which are top quality with the advantage of making it easy to choose hub bodies for Campagnolo, Shimano, or SRAM. With the rim width increasing to a 24mm external measurement, that also means that you can start running wider tires with your Lightweights. They recommend running between 24mm and 34mm tubular tires.
Though named Lightweight, the wheels focus not only on remaining as light as possible but also as stiff, responsive, and stable in all types of wind conditions. The precision of the handling comes down largely to how stiff they are. And when we stay stiff, we don���t mean just a little un-flexy but crazy, implacably stiff. Accelerations start the moment the thought crosses your mind. Slamming the brakes when you want to scrub your speed will also be a magical moment of complete control thanks to the special attention Lightweight pays to the brake track to ensure no overheating occurs.
The Lightweight Meilenstein T 24E tubular wheels for rim brakes weigh just 1165g for the set. They will make a huge difference in your ride feel, whether you are climbing loads or plowing through windswept plains. Lightweight places a maximum weight for rider and bike at 100 kilos or 220 pounds for these wheels.
