  • Lightweight Rear Tubular Disc Dt Wheel

    £1,499.99

    Buy now. Pay later on Lightweight Rear Tubular Disc DT Wheel. Lightweight Rear Tubular Disc DT Wheel: Lightweight's proven classic, which combines a very low weight of only 820g (1.81 lbs) with excellent stiffness, using their Sandwich Construction design, and the all-carbon rim with a lightweight foam core. Lightweight wheels have a renowned reputation within the pro peloton with many of the big names wanting to ride them during the big pro tours. The wheels first gained their fame after Bjarne Riis rode them to his 1996 Tour de France victory and have played a major role in every Tour win since. Many top names within the peloton including Armstrong, Pantani, and Ullrich have all purchased and used these wheels in major Tour and World Championship victories. One instance of this, which was captured on film during the 2003 Tour de France involving Lance Armstrong, Iban Mayo and Jan Ullrich, was on the penultimate climb of the stage. The now famous photograph showed Lance and Iban on the floor, brought down by a spectator watching by the side of the road, with Jan leaning heavily to his left to avoid hitting them both. If you look at Jan's bike it clearly displays a set of 53mm deep section Lightweight wheels and proving that no better evidence exists of the seemingly impossible balance of stiffness, lightness, aerodynamics, and toughness offered by Lightweight.Lightweight wheels are 100% handmade in Germany with their quality and reliability setting them way above their competitors. They take the all-carbon wheel in a direction no other wheel manufacturer has gone. Lightweight laminate the carbon/kevlar spokes directly into the hub and rim, and all wheels are equipped with a memory chip. These chips store data tracking each wheel's manufacturing history, including serial number and production data. The chips weigh only 0.2g and can facilitate top level service. With all this in mind these wheels have become a must-have wheelset of the professional peloton and riders personally purchasing a set, at full retail price, for themselves to use in specific stages of all the big tours.You can see more evidence of their usage by the pro peloton when you look back in time at other major events. In 2002 Mario Cipollini won the 2002 World Championships on a set, Lance Armstrong also rode to victory in the 2002 Tour de France on a set, most noticeably on the worst mountain stages and Team Bianchi in 2003 and T-Mobile in 2004 utilising them nearly exclusively for all applications in the Tour.The benefit of a pair of Lightweight wheels is not just going uphill or on the flat, it's also when descending at high speed when their perfect balance reduces gyroscopic effects and enhances the bikes handling. This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!Lightweight wheels, 100% handmade in Germany, are renowned for their strength, quality and reliability throughout the professional peleton making them a must-have wheelset to own. Lightweight disc wheels are at home in time trials, in triathlons and in track racing where they shine with excellent aerodynamics. These are your best bet when fighting the wind alone. Due to their higher weight, other manufacturers' conventional disc wheels are restricted to flat courses with few turns. Uphill stretches or courses requiring lots of acceleration after sharp turns meant that what was gained by good aerodynamics was lost again due to higher weight and bad acceleration - not so with these Lightweight's!Lightweight wholeheartedly recommend their disc wheels (and one of their spoked wheels up front) for triathletes: Triathlon events are rarely held on flat courses, instead they come with hills, mountains, descents and tight inner-city sections. This is where these wheels shine! On courses where you used to forego a disc wheel due to its higher weight, you can now enjoy Lightweight discs' superior aerodynamics without regret.Further Information: Lightweight disc wheels are unique in that they are the only wheels in which the carbon fibres are oriented perfectly in the direction of the forces to be transmitted. All rotating forces originate at the hub and have to be transmitted to the tyre. The lateral forces originate at the contact patch of the tyre and must be transferred to the hub. Carbon fibres can only transfer forces if they are positioned in the direction of the load, as they can only transmit pulling forces. In this regard they behave like ordinary wire spokes.Lightweight discs are designed like spoked wheels: Many carbon fibre threads connect the hub to the rim. The threads leave the hub shell tangentially - in the direction of the forces to be transmitted. No ordinary carbon fibre mats are used. Lightweights Sandwich Design uses no fibres that transfer no loads. The result is a wheel which is both stronger and lighter than other disc wheels....

  • Lightweight Standard C Iii Clincher Rear Wheel

    £1,549.99

    Buy now. Pay later on Lightweight Standard C III Clincher Rear Wheel. Lightweight Standard C III Clincher Rear Wheel: The Lightweight Standard III C wheelset is based on their proven 'Standard' model. It has been designed for use with wire bead or folding tires. To achieve best possible results Lightweight have redesigned the entire rim. Lightweight wheels have a renowned reputation within the pro peloton with many of the big names wanting to ride them during the big pro tours. The wheels first gained their fame after Bjarne Riis rode them to his 1996 Tour de France victory and have played a major role in every Tour win since.

This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!Lightweight Standard III C wheels come with all technical innovations of our current Generation III wheels. The new all-carbon spokes and the direct bonding of spokes, rim and hub is taken over from our 'Standard' and 'Obermayer' wheels. New is the rim: It has to be light and stiff like on all our wheels; additionally, the sidewall must meet extreme physical demands. Rim dimensions are 48mm deep and 20mm wide.Tyre pressure and brake calipers both put large lateral forces on the sidewall. Add to that the heat created by braking from high velocities, and you have quite a task for the engineering department. Carbon fibres excel at withstanding longitudinal forces, and the poor heat transfer capability of carbon fibre materials let temperatures rise quickly, possibly leading to problems both at the rim and for the pad compound. We employ a special temperature resistant resin enveloping our high-tensile fibres to easily meet these demands. As well as the hub body, the Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre. Thus the wheels are 30% stiffer than the previous version with aramid/carbon fibre mix. Aside from the enormously increased rigidity the new all-carbon fibre spokes offer marked improvements in three important fields: tensile strength, notched bar impact testing and spoke pull-out. So far the use of these spokes was technically not possible. By means of a new, secret production procedure our wheelsets with deep-section rims can now be equipped with these stronger all-carbon fibre spokes. Thus, the current generation III wheelsets are 30% stiffer than those of the 2nd generation, and 40% stiffer than Lightweight original wheels. The rear wheel is only available with a 20 spoke count. As with all our Generation III wheels, the spokes are composed of carbon fibres and are laminated directly into both the rim and hub. There are no spoke nipples or other screw-type fittings which might become loose. Thus, the wheels will never have to be trued. The third...

This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!These wheels can be used in any road racing event both up and downhill. The thickness of the carbon layers and the heat protection in the rims brake tracks have been designed accordingly. However, the carbon lay-up has been redesigned to lower the weight even more compared to our proven standard wheelset. These high-tech wheels are built using the original processes and techniques developed by the wheels inventors Dierl and Obermayer. They consist of an all-carbon rim with a lightweight foam core. As well as the hub body, the Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre. Thus the wheels are 30% stiffer than the previous version with aramid/carbon fibre mix.

Thus, the current generation III wheelsets are 30% stiffer than those of the 2nd generation, and 40% stiffer than Lightweight original wheels. During all stages of development, the goal was to develop wheels for the needs of professional racing. Pro racers unanimously prefer their wheels to be stiff, but at the same time aerodynamic and light. As a wobbly wheel will not transfer a racers power to the ground adequately, stiffness was always the top priority. Accordingly, Lightweight wheels are by far the stiffest wheels in their weight category.These wheels feature lighter rims measuring 53mm high and 19.5mm wide. The rim's sides are slanted in the same angle as the spokes, aiming the spokes for the opposing brake surface. This is the secret behind their unsurpassed stiffness as the spokes are at a shallower angle than in conventional wheels. The aerodynamic lens-shaped spokes are seamlessly joined to the rim, so there is no spoke nipple creating unwanted turbulences....

Many top names within the peloton including Armstrong, Pantani, and Ullrich have all purchased and used these wheels in major Tour and World Championship victories. One instance of this, which was captured on film during the 2003 Tour de France involving Lance Armstrong, Iban Mayo and Jan Ullrich, was on the penultimate climb of the stage. The now famous photograph showed Lance and Iban on the floor, brought down by a spectator watching by the side of the road, with Jan leaning heavily to his left to avoid hitting them both. If you look at Jan's bike it clearly displays a set of 53mm deep section Lightweight wheels and proving that no better evidence exists of the seemingly impossible balance of stiffness, lightness, aerodynamics, and toughness offered by Lightweight.Lightweight wheels are 100% handmade in Germany with their quality and reliability setting them way above their competitors. They take the all-carbon wheel in a direction no other wheel manufacturer has gone. Lightweight laminate the carbon/kevlar spokes directly into the hub and rim, and all wheels are equipped with a memory chip. These chips store data tracking each wheel's manufacturing history, including serial number and production data. The chips weigh only 0.2g and can facilitate top level service. With all this in mind these wheels have become a must-have wheelset of the professional peloton and riders personally purchasing a set, at full retail price, for themselves to use in specific stages of all the big tours.You can see more evidence of their usage by the pro peloton when you look back in time at other major events. In 2002 Mario Cipollini won the 2002 World Championships on a set, Lance Armstrong also rode to victory in the 2002 Tour de France on a set, most noticeably on the worst mountain stages and Team Bianchi in 2003 and T-Mobile in 2004 utilising them nearly exclusively for all applications in the Tour.The benefit of a pair of Lightweight wheels is not just going uphill or on the flat, it's also when descending at high speed when their perfect balance reduces gyroscopic effects and enhances the bikes handling. This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!The spoked wheels are available in 700C with 2 spoke counts (16 and 20). Our new wheels are built around Lightweight hubs and are can be ridden by any rider regardless of weight. Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre. Thus the wheels are 30% stiffer than the previous version with aramid/carbon fibre mix. Aside from the enormously increased rigidity the new all-carbon fibre spokes offer marked improvements in three important fields: tensile strength, notched bar impact testing and spoke pull-out. So far the use of these spokes was technically not possible. By means of a new, secret production procedure our wheelsets with deep-section rims can now be equipped with these stronger all-carbon fibre spokes. Thus, the current generation III wheelsets are 30% stiffer than those of the 2nd generation, and 40% stiffer than Lightweight original wheels.16 Spoke Wheels: The 16-spoke front wheel is preferred by most pros for all-around use. It is extremely stiff and will make you love it for its precise cornering. Use it on the rough cobbles of Belgium or the mountain stages of the large tours. It is often used in time trials or for triathlon.20 Spoke Wheels: This is Lightweights sturdiest front wheel - but it still weighs only 485g! The spokes can hold 1200 kg each - that's 2540 pounds for those of you on the other side of the big pond! No wonder this wheel is the obvious choice for cyclocross racers, sprinters and other brutes looking for the stiffest wheel rather than the lightest or most aerodynamic. The third generation wheelset Brake Pads included Even further weight reductions combined with markedly improved stiffness Front wheel equipped with Lightweight hubs Front wheel spoke count: 16/20Max rider weight: 110kg/120kg Application: Allround Tubular: Yes Clincher: No Rim dimensions: 53mm/19.5mm

Lightweight Standard C III Clincher Front Wheel: The Lightweight Standard III C wheelset is based on their proven 'Standard' model. It has been designed for use with wire bead or folding tires. To achieve best possible results Lightweight have redesigned the entire rim. Lightweight wheels have a renowned reputation within the pro peloton with many of the big names wanting to ride them during the big pro tours.

This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!Lightweight Standard III C wheels come with all technical innovations of our current Generation III wheels. The new all-carbon spokes and the direct bonding of spokes, rim and hub is taken over from our 'Standard' and 'Obermayer' wheels. New is the rim: It has to be light and stiff like on all our wheels; additionally, the sidewall must meet extreme physical demands. Rim dimensions are 48mm deep and 20mm wide.Tyre pressure and brake calipers both put large lateral forces on the sidewall. Add to that the heat created by braking from high velocities, and you have quite a task for the engineering department. Carbon fibres excel at withstanding longitudinal forces, and the poor heat transfer capability of carbon fibre materials let temperatures rise quickly, possibly leading to problems both at the rim and for the pad compound. We employ a special temperature resistant resin enveloping our high-tensile fibres to easily meet these demands. As well as the hub body, the Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre. Thus the wheels are 30% stiffer than the previous version with aramid/carbon fibre mix. Aside from the enormously increased rigidity the new all-carbon fibre spokes offer marked improvements in three important fields: tensile strength, notched bar impact testing and spoke pull-out. So far the use of these spokes was technically not possible. By means of a new, secret production procedure our wheelsets with deep-section rims can now be equipped with these stronger all-carbon fibre spokes. Thus, the current generation III wheelsets are 30% stiffer than those of the 2nd generation, and 40% stiffer than Lightweight original wheels. The front wheel is available with different spoke counts. Depending on rider weight and intended use you can choose between 16 or 20 spoke versions. As with all our Generation III wheels, the spokes are composed of carbon fibres and are laminated directly into both the rim and hub. There are no spoke nipples or other screw-type...

This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!These wheels can be used in any road racing event both up and downhill. The thickness of the carbon layers and the heat protection in the rims brake tracks have been designed accordingly. However, the carbon lay-up has been redesigned to lower the weight even more compared to our proven standard wheelset. These high-tech wheels are built using the original processes and techniques developed by the wheels inventors Dierl and Obermayer. They consist of an all-carbon rim with a lightweight foam core. As well as the hub body, the Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre.

Thus, the current generation III wheelsets are 30% stiffer than those of the 2nd generation, and 40% stiffer than Lightweight original wheels. During all stages of development, the goal was to develop wheels for the needs of professional racing. Pro racers unanimously prefer their wheels to be stiff, but at the same time aerodynamic and light. As a wobbly wheel will not transfer a racers power to the ground adequately, stiffness was always the top priority. Accordingly, Lightweight wheels are by far the stiffest wheels in their weight category.These wheels feature lighter rims measuring 53mm high and 19.5mm wide. The rim's sides are slanted in the same angle as the spokes, aiming the spokes for the opposing brake surface. This is the secret behind their unsurpassed stiffness as the spokes are at a shallower angle than in conventional wheels. The aerodynamic lens-shaped spokes are seamlessly joined to the rim, so there is no spoke nipple creating unwanted turbulences....

This was one of the main benefits to a certain great climber who had difficulty getting back down the other side after destroying riders going up the climb!Lightweight Ventoux features an extremely light, low profile rim which is the main key to this wheelset's sensationally low weight. But it's not low weight alone that makes these wheels accelerate like no other: Reduced mass at the outer perimeter means that less torque is required to bring the wheel up to speed. Thus, these wheels accelerate even faster than the scales alone would have led you to predict.Lightweight Ventoux is no aero wheelset, but they still paid careful attention to aerodynamics when developing these wheels. Despite its lower profile the rim has an aerodynamic tear shape. The 20 carbon fibre spokes feature the same lens shape as on our aero wheels. Spoke count is significantly lower than with other manufacturers' wheelsets with low profile rims, again improving aerodynamics. Even when riding extremely light weight wheels aerodynamic properties can be the decisive factor towards winning a race.Lightweight Ventoux wheels feel right at home at high altitudes, but they will certainly see lots of use in the classics season. Whenever the least possible weight and explosive acceleration are the key, there is only one obvious wheel choice! A record-breaking weight, for the wheelset, of only 950g (2.09 lbs) combined with 20 tough fibre spokes give you unparalleled climbing power.Generation III of our wheelsets uses new spokes which are completely made from carbon fibre. Thus the wheels are 30% stiffer than the previous version with aramid/carbon fibre mix.
