Lightweight Meilenstein T 24D Schwarz ED Disc Carbon tubeless wheelset

Lightweight Meilenstein T 24D Schwarz ED Disc - This is where it all began, now it continues.

MEILENSTEIN is the classic from Lightweight. Developed from the beginning for all-round use, this wheel still proves its ingenious versatility every day. The MEILENSTEIN T 24D scores with all the features of its predecessor and goes one step further. The MEILENSTEIN DISC offers improved aerodynamics, increased compatibility, 10% more stiffness and increased braking safety thanks to the Pentagonal hub.

Indescribable riding characteristics thanks to outstanding stiffness
For the perfect wheel, all factors must be right. Not without reason the Lightweight MEILENSTEIN is the most successful model among the Lightweight wheels. With its unbelievable characteristics and versatile application possibilities the Lightweight MEILENSTEIN has been the reference among carbon wheels on the road for years and inspires road cyclists all over the world. The dream of a perfect all-round wheel becomes reality with the Lightweight MEILENSTEIN. With your MEILENSTEIN you can conquer high mountain ranges, enjoy flat rides and master racing with bravura. The extraordinary braking performance in dry as well as wet conditions will completely inspire you. You can hardly describe MEILENSTEIN with words - you just have to ride it.

The stiffness of an wheel and its effect
The Lightweight MEILENSTEIN is not only particularly light, but also particularly stiff. But what does that actually mean for the road cyclist? The stiffer the carbon wheel is, the more track stable it is. This effect has an impact on the steering: the stiffness makes the steering more direct and particularly reliable. The energy that is generated at every start and every sprint is directly transferred to the road. The high stiffness is additionally increased by the connection of the spokes to the hub.

Pentagon hub for more safety and optimum braking performance
The Disc version of the Lightweight MEILENSTEIN is equipped with a so-called Pentagon hub. The hub sleeve was developed and patented by Lightweight. It provides more safety because the wheel hardly twists at all when braking. In the Magura endurance test the Pentagon hub proved to be "indestructible". Magura is known for its uncompromising testing procedures for disc brakes, in order to test the brake components for maximum load capacity. One of these methods is special full-load braking, in which a wheel is brought to a standstill under full load at a speed of approx. 50 km/h within seconds with maximum braking force. After several weeks of testing, the Lightweight development manager received a call from Magura. He was informed that the MEILENSTEIN wheel had survived 8000 of these full-load braking operations without damage. The previous maximum values of comparable disc-braked wheels were 6000-7000 braking operations before they were damaged. A few months later, Magura engineers spoke to the development department again and reported that that MEILENSTEIN C DISC wheel had been left on the test bench and was still intact after no less than 20,000 full-load braking cycles. As it could not be broken, the tests were stopped, the wheel was measured and checked for technical values. It turned out that these were exactly the same as when they were delivered.

Every Lightweight wheelset is carefully handmade in Germany. This can lead to slight variations in surface structure and colour. This is a characteristic quality feature of this particularly high-quality production method. Lightweight stands for high-end quality Made in Germany.
