Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015 you have an early right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund.

However, this right is limited to 30 days from the date you took ownership of the goods (this could be the date of purchase or the date the goods were delivered to you - whichever is later).

After the initial 30 days, you can't demand a full refund in the first instance, but you still have the right to a repair or replacement.

Refunds (if applicable)

Once your returned item is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 14 calendar days. If you paid for standard delivery of the goods, the cost of standard delivery will also be refunded.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable):

  • Books or other paper products with obvious signs of use;
  • Any item not in its original condition, which is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error; and
  • Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.

Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact Hollie at hollie@windwave.co.uk.

Lightweight Wheels Meilenstein ART Evo Disc Brake Road Carbon Wheelset Tubeless Ready Schwartz Ed

A new era of engineering

The Lightweight Meilenstein ART marks a new era in carbon wheelset engineering, developed over nearly four years. It’s Lightweight's most advanced wheelset to date, with significant progress made, including the creation of ART (Alpha Rib Technology).
ART is unlike any traditional rim construction. Rather than using a standard hollow profile, the ART rim is built in sections, featuring multiple integrated ribs.
These ribs significantly boost lateral stiffness by strengthening the cross-section against side forces. This enhances front wheel handling and improves power transfer at the rear.
The spokes are mounted on the tyre bed and bonded directly to the ribs, which, by avoiding changes in the direction of the spoke fibres, maximises tensile strength and reduces fatigue in the material. The result is a more durable and longer-lasting wheelset.
All Lightweight wheels, including the Meilenstein ART, are handcrafted in Germany, with key processes performed by hand to ensure consistency and attention to detail.

Meilenstein ART full details

Alpha Rib Technology (ART): A patented internal rib structure that enables a wider, more aerodynamic profile while significantly increasing stiffness and reducing weight. This technology also allows carbon fibre spokes to be directly bonded into the internal ribs, preserving their full strength and creating a more direct connection to the road.

Drag Reduction Shape (DRS): An aerodynamic design philosophy that balances low drag with crosswind stability, featuring a 23mm inner width optimised for wider tyres.

"Wider is Better" philosophy: Engineered specifically for tyres 28mm and wider, with a 22.9mm internal and 28.6mm external rim width, enhancing grip, comfort, and control.

Rim to Rim Spoke Design: The wheelset uses 20 Full-Carbon spokes per wheel. These spokes are part of Lightweight’s proprietary R2R (Rim to Rim) design, where each carbon spoke runs in a continuous line from one side of the rim, through the hub, to the other side without bends, breaks, or mechanical connectors, maximising stiffness and durability. The spokes are permanently bonded to both the rim and hub using high-performance structural adhesives, which prevents material fatigue and loss of spoke tension. This design boosts both the lateral and torsional stiffness of the wheel, meaning this 1,109g wheelset has a generous weight limit of 120kg.

Hub System: It incorporates the Penta-Fly hub system, which uses a DT SWISS EXP 180 hub. This system involves spokes bonded directly to a precision-machined aluminium hub, oversized flanges for stiffness, and a minimised central hub diameter for reduced aerodynamic drag.

The wheelset weighs 1,190g and achieves over 20% greater aerodynamic efficiency than its predecessor, measured by Lightweight’s new Aero-Mass index, (watt × kg = drag at 45 km/h × weight). During development, the Meilenstein ART underwent rigorous testing beyond industry standards, including real world scenarios, corrosion, and climate testing, ensuring exceptional safety, reliability, and longevity.

meilenstein art is available in two versions. The standard version features "lightweight silver" decals and steel bearings and the schwarz ed version includes "lightweight black" decals and ceramicspeed bearings.
