Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.
LB Flyweight Carbon Regular Edition >> -It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things more aero, designed to unlimit your hub choice making your wheels more customizable than ever.
LB Flyweight Carbon Special Edition >> - It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things light, designed to pair seamlessly with our Speed Hubs through the use of specially designed aluminium nipples.
Berd PolyLight >> - It is constructed from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are widely considered to be the lightest bicycle spoke option in the world.

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole effectively help evacuate both the water trapped inside the rim and the air leaking into the rim chamber caused by nonperfect tubeless tape sealing handwork that may risk rim explosure in an aggressive tire inflating.

It is the small reinforced layer prelaminated on the area where the drain hole is drilled later that makes the rim strength fairly ensured without any compromise of weight added.

Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims with drain holes.

Hi there! Currently, I'm running my 26 inch wheel set built with DT swiss FR560 rims (570 grams), dartmoor reel pro hubs and continental tires ( 670 grams each) My front wheel weights around 2000 grams with the rotor, rear wheel 2600 with the rotor and cassette. Considering it's a fresh new build, would it worth it to go with your 38 mm wide and 33 mm deep 26er rims?

LightBicycle 2022/08/20

Hi Sir, If you replace the FR560 rims with our RM26C05 26er rims, it would save you 300g in total. With a wider profile, you can run a wider range of tires in the future. And carbon rims certainly are more stiff than alloy rims. What hubs are used on your current wheels? They can be reused if they are in good condition. You need new spokes to build the wheels up. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Do you have any front hub options for 20 x 110?

LightBicycle 2022/04/20

Hi Sean, Thanks for your inquiry! Yes, we have 20*110mm I9 hubs here. Do you like 20*110mm old DH or 20*110mm boost DH? Which 26er wheelset do you like? You can list the complete wheelset specs here, we can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

BRUNO 2020/06/10

Hi, I'm about to bring an old enduro bike back to it's glory so I'd like to buy the wheelset from you. I'm building it as a mullet bike 27,5 front/26 rear, however the hub axle size should be 15/110 boost and 135/5 qr. I'll be between 2.4 and 2.5 tyres with rimpact rim protection for some peace of mind and even though I never broke or bent a wheel in my life, I am a heavy rider, 120kg with gear, and I'll be riding double black diamond trails and bike park tracks. I think that a combination of the rm26c05 and rm650bc13 rims with the heavy duty option would be the best fit for me. As for the hubs I do love the Dt Swiss 240s straightpull same as my carbon wheelset of my Xc bike, however I'll be open to hear your opinion. Are the 28 dt Swiss competition spokes on alloy nipples strong enough?

LightBicycle 2020/06/11

Hi Sir, 1. The new EXP version 135*5qr conversion kit would have to wait till July (at least). 2. I would suggest going with DT 350 hubs if you prefer the ratchet system over pawls. The straight pull version only available in 28H. 3. If you don't mind the pawl system, the Industry Nine hubs would be also a good choice. But you should know that they are very loud hubs. Some people love it, some people don't. So just a heads-up to you. 4. We can make a reinforced version (heavier than the heavy-duty) for you if you are concerned about the durability. We will charge USD8-10 extra per rim for the customization. Let me know if it's ok with you. 5. The Sapim CX-Ray spokes are the most popular spokes we sell. But given the fact that you are a big guy and riding enduro, I would say DT competition race round spokes or sapim D-light round or sapim race spokes would be safer. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Light-Bicycle 2016/05/05

Aaron 2015/12/27

Hi, I would like to see pictures of the difference between UD matte and UD gloss rims and 3k matte and 3k gloss please. 1: Also I want to know if you sell 38mm wide by 26" in a hookless design the same as 27.5..? I wanted to re-use my original hubs if possible from my bike (specialized enduro- with DTswiss hubs) but the front hub is a 27 spoke hub which i know is different from the normal 28 or 32 2: so I need to know if you can make a rim for me with 27 spoke holes instead of 28..? I need a quote for the cost of two options. Option A. -26"rims only 38mm dh 32 hole rear and 27 hole front Option B. -26" 38mm dh 32 hole rear 28 hole front with dt swiss 240 hubs straight pull black spokes super competion Thankyou for your time Aaron

Light-Bicycle 2015/12/28

Hello Aaron, Thanks for your inquiry. Please find attached pictures of the rim weave & finish. 3k/12k/UD are the 3 choices for cosmetic appearance. The rim strength & weight is virtually identical. UD Matte is the most popular. -Yes, the 38mm wide 26er rim is available. Rim profile attached for reference. You can use your original hubs to build the wheels. - For spoke count, we can manufacture from 16H to 36H. So, rim in 27H is fine. All the prices are the same if the rims with different spoke counts. For special count, you can not change or cancel the order, hope that is okay for you. - RM26C05 (38mm wide 26er HD rim) hookless: 485 /-15g, USD181/pcs -The 38mm wide 26er HD wheelset with DT 240S hubs & DT competition spokes is USD970/pair.
