Description
Since these are not only rim brake but tubular wheels, you might think they rely on an old fashioned foundation. Not a bit of it! Lightweight focused all their design and carbon knowhow in order to make them incredibly fast, light, responsive, and durable. 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 and hubs 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.
The classic look of the 48mm deep profile combined with the expertly crafted carbon layup to keep the wheels both lightweight and sturdy. 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.
Weighing just 1165g for the set, the Lightweight Meilenstein T 24E tubular wheels for rim brakes will enhance any climbing bike or pure racing bike. Lightweight places a maximum weight for rider and bike at 100 kilos or 220 pounds and recommends using tires that are between 24 and 34mm wide.
