Not saying anything but... Bernal and Sosa, 1-2 for LWs at Gran Piemonte:

Gone are the days of 32 spokes handbuilt training wheels.
Yes, and you must now charge gears from a USB port, alongside cigarettes and books. Funny old world.

TLDR: Lightweight Gipfelsturm has been discontinued, with no replacement.
Given that this thread contains the most recent information, from 2019, about the status and plans for Lightweight subsequent to its parent filing for self-administrated restructuring at court, I am linking to relevant posts in another thread

So I would say it is not a replacement at all for Gipfeslturm.The Gipfelsturm just went out of production with the beginning of the new year. Another wheelset with a lower rim height would be our Wegweiser EVO. However this one is only available as a disc brake version.
