SCHMOLKE wheelset 28" TLO 45 Extralite Ceramic Clincher | Black Edition
Schmolke wheels have long been among the lightest on the market. If you want to optimize the weight of your bike, you can't get past the specialists from Lake Constance. On the market since 1992, they are among the pioneers of lightweight carbon construction. And you can see their know-how in each of their products. In addition, everything is Made in Germany.
The TLO "The Lightest One" 45 wheelset is an announcement to the competition with its unbelievable 1180g. The high-quality T1000 fibers are used for this. They are about 16% more tensile than the T800 series. This means that less material can be used without losing stability. Despite this low mass, it is approved for a system weight of 105 kg. This also gives slightly stronger riders the opportunity to lighten their bike.
The stable rims in 3K structure, as well as the Extralite hubs, guarantee a long and carefree life. A CyberFront SL was installed at the front, and a CyberRear SL2 hub rotates at the rear. In addition, they received an increase in performance through hybrid ceramic bearings. These impress with first-class smooth running and a significantly longer service life than stainless steel bearings. The Sapim CX Ray and CX Super spokes are very robust, light and offer very good aerodynamics thanks to their flat shape. This is also supported by the internal nipples.
In contrast to other manufacturers, the rims can withstand temperatures of up to 230°C. They are therefore also well suited for rim brakes and long downhill rides can be tackled in a relaxed manner.
