Why not, he owns six sets

btw: Wese used them at Amstel, too....
The Pro's *really* seem to love them
Anybody can identify the rear wheel? Did he puncture?

That is a corima I saw it by myself... By the way I was also riding lightweights in the Amstel Gold race I finished 56. greetings Johancoenen www.johancoenen.be

Wese had Lightweight front and rear. Zabel rode Lightweights at the AGR just as well as a few others (I noticed Johan Coenen on Lightweights there as well).

I was there but had no camera...

Yes thats right. Telekom is using for the moment, Lightweights, Corima, Cosmic carbon without decals ans shimano carbon

ooopsss....I was a few seconds to fast

Congratulations Johan!!! Great to have a professional rider here in this forum!!!! I saw you on Sunday and was really impressed (I´m sure you didn´t notice me )

Let us know: What do the pros really love about those wheels? Is it only weight? And is it true that you all have to buy them by yourself?

Hi Johan,

welcome to the list!
and congratulations to your placing at Amstel!

Martin

Yes, that's right A bought them by myself. But yesterday after the race I noticed that their was a "Crack and bump" in the rear wheel !!!
Now I'm may send them back to Germany and hopely they can fix it.....
But this are great wheels, light and stiff. I love them.

Johan,

are you positive about the rear wheel being a Corima? i examined several pics of the AGR very closely and the longer i look, the more i think it *is* a rear Lightweight wheel. (This was also discussed in german "Tour" magazine's forum). Even Carbonsports have confirmed that Wese used a complete set of LWs?

I think Wese is using LW at the rear too. Look carefully at the spokes and I am sure that you can see the point where they are tied together with the carbon.

Yes, I was wrong. It is a lightweight. but some other riders where riding Corima

hi

you said, that you bought the wheels self. how long did YOU wait for this set? is the waiting-time for a pro also 3-4 month? it don't have to interest me, because i've got my own lightweight-wheelset . but i'm wondered as well. and have you got a wheelset without the 'lightweight'-decals?

Yes I also waited 6 month's for my wheels. At the moment I've got Lightweight "decals" on my wheels.

i didn't wait for my wheelset. i said that i take it, and some days later i hold them in my hands. and that without decals not so bad? or? o.k. i bought them used. i've them from a triathlon-pro. he used them for 5 times perhaps. so, they looks like new ones. and were very much cheapier
