I knew I'd seen similar wheels before...
but these ones have black hubs, Baden's seem silver?

was going to say that they might be old campag boras from the teleko
stockpile but the hubs look wrong. Be buggered if I know what they are
Looks like Karls stuffed now, he'll be vulnerable against the genuin
climbers simply because of the size of him. Thanks for the replie
guys

Nah, lightweights don't use stainless steel spokes, they use some sort of
composite fibre. The ones shown on
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004...d=ullrich-bike look like
they have SS spokes to me...(they look like Campy Boras)
Different wheels altogether (although the rims might be the same?)

Ah yes, those wheels gave us lots of fun. They're Corimas, we think, but
there are probably a couple of references still lingering in that piece to
them being Lightweights because that's what we were told by T-Mobile's
mechanics. We went 'Hang on, Lightweight doesn't make anything with steel
spokes' and it was then confirmed by Lightweight that they weren't
Lightweights, at which point we banged our heads gently on our desks,
removed the easily-found references to Lightweight and went off to do
something more rewarding like herd cats.

To keep things nice and confusing, Ullrich does use Lightweights too - you
can see them on some of his climbing and TT bikes. I'm pretty sure the rear
wheel he's using here is a Lightweight:

Note the very large hub flanges. The wheels on Kloeden's bike in that stage
also appear to be Lightweights.
