Description
The Tauwerk® LIGHT.one is probably the lightest standard wheelchair wheel you can get. In the version with 18 spokes, a wheelset weighs a minimal 975g.
As with all Tauwerk wheels, the patented spokes made of high-strength synthetic fibres are the main feature of the wheels. In addition to being ultra-lightweight and extremely durable, they have a vibration-damping effect thanks to their braided structure and are also absolutely unique in design. The spokes are manufactured, finished and assembled by hand in Germany. The rope spokes have the typical Tauwerk black/natural braiding pattern and black hard-anodised spoke ends.
An aluminium rim with a 17 mm rim width is fitted, which is suitable for all standard tyres (widths). The rim is also hard anodised and coloured black. The very hard surface makes the rims very resistant to scratches. There are 6 steel threaded rivets in the rim to which you can mount push rims with standard lugs using M5 bolts without having to remove the tyre.
The beautifully shaped hubs - a further development of our "first edition" hubs - are made from a high-strength aluminium alloy and are blasted, anodised and laser-cut in Germany.
High-quality chrome steel ball bearings from Enduro Bearings® are fitted as standard. The even higher quality ceramic bearings from the Danish ball bearing specialist CeramicSpeed® are available as an option. Ceramic bearings with their very hard and extremely wear-resistant rolling elements made of silicon nitride offer lower friction and an unrivalled service life compared to standard ball bearings.
A set of Tauwerk LIGHT.one wheels always consists of a left and a right wheel. The rim, hub labelling and spoke pattern are symmetrical to each other and create a harmonious overall look. #itsaboutthedetails
