The Lightweight ?Obermayer? is a lighter variant of our proven spoked wheelset. ?Obermayer? wheels are built around extralight hubs by TUNE and Lightweight and feature lighter rims, as well. http://www.carbonsports.com/Produkte/Lightweight/Standardelemente/Punktlinie.gif http://www.carbonsports.com/Produkte/Lightweight/Modelle/Speichenrad/Obermayer/Gewichtsvergleich2.gif? At 960 g or less, our new ?Obermayers? are our lightest wheelset for road races of any kind. Stiffness is still top rate.The Lightweight ?Obermayer? is a direct descendant of the Lightweight ?L?Alpe d?Huez?. We developed the latter upon request from a leading pro team especially for the grueling mountain time trial in the 2004 Tour de France. Most of the innovations developed for this highly specialized wheelset have been incorporated into the new ?Obermayer? wheels, resulting in considerable advantages to you: You get an even lighter race ready wheelset with unsurpassed stiffness. In fact, the ?Obermayers? are just as stiff as our regular wheelset with the same spoke count, taking a top spot among lightweight wheelsets.

WorcesterWheelers Posted September 5, 2006 Share Only problem is, you can buy a very nice bike for the price of just the wheelset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIVETRAIN Posted September 5, 2006 Share Not worth it for me/us mere mortals to pay that amount of money for just a wheelset..., as U say one can buy a complete bike for that cash... "DT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutie Posted September 5, 2006 Share Expensive but is it really worth it at the end of the day?Just think you cant race a Scott CR1 with those wheels,it wont be allowed by the UCI,so whats the point........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted September 5, 2006 Share The trick here is, if you want a set you have to get into the queue, everyone who orders them gets into the queue, even Big Jan patiently waited his turn in the queue. Last I saw (which was a while ago) the lead time was a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted September 5, 2006 Share I know a guy hat can make stickers like that. Then you can stick it onto your Cosmics or Zipps. With a side cutter you get rid of some spokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorcesterWheelers Posted September 6, 2006 Share hmm nice wheels. WAY to expensive!and heavier than the wheels i ride with so they can keep them! Ok, now you've got my attention! So what custom built wheelset do you then have, and 2nd more important question, are your wheels at least as stiff as these babies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
