First Look: the Lightweight Mielenstein Schwarz Edition 24mm-wide-rim Tubular Wheelset with Veloflex Vlaanderen 27C Tires

The Lightweight Mielenstein Schwarz Edition 24mm-wide-rim tubular wheelset delivers the best handling and overall performance I’ve ever ridden—and that’s saying a lot given my other Lightweight tubular wheelsets.

The Veloflex Vlaanderen as shown mounts with a perfect fit on the 24mm-wide rim (rims on other Lightweight wheels are 20mm wide), as if the wheelset and tires were expressly made for each other. See pictures below; the new bike below is the 2018 Moots Vamoots RSL, sponsorship courtesy of OWC / MacSales.com (decals not yet applied).

The 24mm rims are ultra stable and the braking seems better and the total ride quality is a major upgrade. More to come over the next few weeks.
