During the mid 1990s, the German engineers Rudolf Dierl and Heinz
Obermayer started a revolution: They developed the world’s first
all-carbon wheelset in which the carbon/kevlar spokes were laminated
directly into the hub and rim. Only a few wheels were made per year,
but the public immediately took notice when in 1996 and 1997 their
wheels were ridden to victory in the Tour de France. Ever since then
Lightweight Wheels have been used by professional cyclists, as everybody
soon wanted his own pair of these super light, aerodynamic and – above
all – extremely stiff wheelset. Of course, they have played a
role in every Tour won since. Until today Lightweight Wheels are unsurpassed
in their combination of properties.
