轻量化的轮组[节选翻译]

Ligthtweight(轻量化)轮组

Ligthtweight轮组现在正在打入普通自行车市场，该产品是由德国人制造并使用于pro peloton(佩洛通)超过十年。Cyclingnew的在线主编 约翰.杰夫 有幸获得了可以测试该套轮组一段时间的机会，他会给我们谈谈他使用这对相当高级的碳纤轮子的一些真是感受，


一般提到碳纤轮，我们能想到的恐怕只有诸如Zipp, HED或者Campagnolo这么寥寥无几的几个品牌。而现属于德国碳纤股份有限公司的，这个名不见经传的Lightweight轮子，已经历了世界顶尖的自行车和铁人三项等专业运动员近十年的磨练，而且目前Lightweight已经进军自行车业余爱好者这块市场。

关于Lightweight轮组

Cyclingnews获得了一次测试一套Lightweight标准辐条700c管轮4周时间的机会，这种机会往往是很难得到的。该轮组的轮圈部分完全由碳纤维制成，并包含了刹车边以及轻量的橡皮核心(???)。该圈有52.8mm深,19.5mm高。虽然后轮选择使用的是DT Swiss Hugi 240s 花鼓----该花鼓可以方便的替换Shimano或者Campagnolo 9速和10速飞轮----但是轮组花鼓的外壳还是使用的Lightweight自己的碳纤。轮组的辐条是由凯夫拉尔核心和碳纤维混和制成，它们能够无缝的连接轮圈。尽管不卸掉轮组上的胎就没法调校轮组，但是这样的设计却能更符合空气动力学。Lightweight声称每根辐条能够承受1200公斤的力。

Lightweight的后轮有20根辐条，而前轮则有12根,16根,20根辐条这样3种可选方案（我们测试的的20根辐条的前轮），每4根辐条带来10克左右的重量差别。

单单这样的一对轮组（不包括内外胎，刹车系统和叉）售价约

Lightweight wheels
German made and widely used in the pro peloton for more than a decade, Lightweight wheels are now starting to hit the general market. Cyclingnews' Chief Online Editor Jeff Jones had a chance to test a pair for a few weeks, and gives us the lowdown on these fairly exclusive carbon hoops.

When it comes to deep rimmed carbon wheels, a few popular brands spring to mind, such as Zipp, HED and Campagnolo. But a close inspection of the pro peloton will show another very popular carbon wheel that hasn't had the recognition that it has perhaps deserved, due to contractual obligations with sponsors. The somewhat covertly named Lightweight wheels, now owned by German company CarbonSports GmbH, have been ridden by the world's top cyclists, triathletes and duathletes for over 10 years, and in recent times Lightweights have begun to penetrate the amateur market as well.

History
When describing the history of Lightweight and CarbonSports, the company avoids mentioning the names of the riders that have ridden its wheels to victory in the Tour de France, World Championships and other big races. But there are strategically placed photos of Mario Cipollini, Bjarne Riis and Jan Ullrich on the CarbonSports website, and company founder Heinz Obermayer has mentioned Johan Museeuw, Lance Armstrong, Marco Pantani, Stefano Garzelli, Joseba Beloki, Hanka Kupfernagel and more as riders who have used the wheels in races.

Lightweight wheels (for bikes) started off life in the late 1980's by two aerospace engineers, Rudolf Dierl and Heinz Obermayer, who had a considerable amount of expertise in composite materials. They produced everything in their small factory in Munich, Germany, and until 1994 only made disc wheels under the 'Ultec' name. The deep rimmed carbon wheels started in 1995, and since then have undergone only a few changes to their basic design. As the production process was necessarily slow, the waiting list was up to a year long and the price was the equivalent of

不错。

现在后悔当初没有好好学E文，现在好多东西看不懂。

我也是抱着金山词霸来翻译的……唉……

呵呵，已经很不错了，PFDD88。向你学习。抓紧时间把自己的E文学好。

向dd88学习

见笑了。坛子里有一些在国外工作和留学的高手，他们的英文才是No.1啊！

偶的CET4都没过，还好碰上最后一次学位和四级证不挂钩的机会，不然……

偶现在正在为了CET4刻苦努力啊````唉```人生何其苦啊```

我现在是为了PET4觉都没睡好类  
真不晓得那东西是学了干嘛用。
