Lightweight Meilenstein Carbon Clincher Wheelset : 20/20 Spoke

Brand:Lightweight

Code:B1002b

As a general rule, the lighter your wheels, the less robust they are. This is the reason the Meilenstein Cabon Clincher wheels from Lightweight exist. Nothing else was good enough so Lightweight made their own with the simple goal of building the toughest wheelset with the lowest possible weight.

The first iterations of the Meilensteins were created back in the 90's with their popularity and quality cemented after back-to-back Tour de France wins under Bjarne Riis and Jan Ullrich in 1996 and 97 respectively. The Meilenstein was created to be the ultimate all-round wheelset, at home in the mountains, racing or just day-to-day out on the road. Some 20 years later, the refined Meilenstein remains the benchmark when it comes to clincher / tubular wheelsets - and it's still the toughest on the market. Using a Foam Core construction method with over 20 man hours invested per wheel, the Meilensteins have incredible lateral stiffness with the lightest rolling mass. Combine this with the fact that the carbon spokes each have the tensile strength to hold the weight of the average family car (1.8 tons) and you can see where their incredible robustness comes from. Indeed, apply a lateral load of 70nm of torque to the rim and it will deflect by only 1mm and in real terms this means no brake rub or flex even when going deep in a sprint or out of the saddle climbing.

Aside from the supremely strong construction and low weight, the Meilensteins also have incredible balance which affords precise and predictable handling making them the most complete wheel available.

One of the biggest problems with carbon rims in recent times has been braking, not just the actual stopping but also the associated rim heating. Historically, carbon rims have been poor stoppers as it is necessary to rapidly dissipate heat before the resins that bind the carbon fibres melt. This is the reason that many amateur riders warp their carbon wheels on long alpine descents. Lightweight have addressed this issue and have built in a warning system to boot and arguably have the safest rim brake technology on the market. The brake surface of the rim is built up of 5 carbon layers and each layer is heated and cured at a different temperature. Most wheel manufacturers have 3 or 4 layers, all of which are cured at the same temperature. As a result of this construction, during extreme braking and with high heat build up, the Meilenstein will feedback rim conditions through the brake lever - ultimately the lever will judder. This lets the rider know that they need to release the lever momentarily to cool the rim (one revolution without the pads engaged can cool the rim by up to 60oC) and continue to brake safely and without damaging the rim.

The lightest, stiffest and toughest wheels on the market, Lightweight don't want you to treat them as your 'special' good-weather only wheels, they insist that they should be ridden whenever and where-ever as the perfect all-round wheelset.
