The wheels I saw on what I think was Txurruka's bike had the typical LW deep outer hub flanges front & rear.

I have to say that the wheel posted above by micky is rather pretty. Is it a rebadged Corima?

Martina Ritter was on LW in the womens elite ITT at the World Championships. Can't find a pic from the day but it looks like she rides them regularly :thumbup:

We rarely see pros using a Fernweg, Autobahn or VR8 front wheel with the Autobahn rear disc, apart from the individual riders who are sponsored by LW.

There are heaps of better choices in aero wheels so that's probably why.

^Absolutely true. There are also better wheelsets than LW Meilenstein but Viviani still uses them.
