Hi
Got my hands on a pair of Meilensteins, but I'm uncertain which generation the wheelset are, gen 3 or 4. The seller said gen 3.
I've measured the rim to be 47,5 mm. As I understand this would mean gen 4?
Happy for qualified answers. Thanks.
Lightweight Meilenstein gen?

afaik if the wheel graphics say "meilenstein" it's gen 4
another indicator if it's shimano hubbed... gen 3 was 10-speed, gen 4 was 11-speed, though this is muddied slightly as i think there's a 10->11 conversion freehub that can be fitted to the gen 3

'Weight: 1180 grams Price:$5800 Includes: Brake pads, skewers, wheel bag, valve extender, tire tools'
My alloys exceed that weight by around 110 grams. Passed on spending 5550 additional for 110 grams.
