Hole Count This is a required option.

Please note that our valves are drilled for presta and spoke holes are made for external nipples by default.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom drilling for any other hole counts or special drilling (e.g G3/ 2:1 etc), most of which are at no extra charge. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Finish This is a required option.

Paintless: The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications. Our Recon Pro and Falcon Pro rims feature BlackTek and come out of molds as a completed product, with a scratch resistant and near flawless finish, eliminating the need for coating or painting. We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Crystal Painting: A fantastic painting effect designed by Light Bicycle.

Full Custom: This option offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR REQUIREMENT IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details.

Weave This is a required option.

Rim Warranty This is a required option.

For Recon Pro Series ( MTB rim), Falcon Pro (road rim) and Drift Pro (fatbike rim), 5-year warranty is set as standard, and optional Lifetime Premium Warranty are kindly offered to purchase with minimum charge respectively.

5 Years

Lifetime USD +100/rim

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.

No Access Holes: No spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" and was made popular by Mavic. Some companies still refer to it as "UST style", however, UST is actually a specific interface between the tire and rim which was developed by a partnership between Mavic, Michelin, and Hutchinson.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

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.

With Drain Holes

No Drain Holes

Decal << Read It First This is a required option.

1. Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro) - Our laser engraving technology is eco-friendly and adds a snappy, polished aesthetic to your new rims.
Please note: Contrary to rims with any coated/painted finishes (matte, glossy and satin) as well as Crystal Painting, laser engraving could work with paintless rims only.

2. Full Custom - Add some additional personalization and go full custom with your rim graphics! Laser engraving is available in one colour (light grey) and starts at $5 USD per rim. If you select this option, LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT. For example: "I need my personalized logo printed" or "Just text 'ABC racing' ". We will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details of custom graphics.

Valve Stem This is a required option.

We use a lightweight black alloy anodized valves with an oversized concave collar for easy gripping. A rubber o-ring goes in between the rim and the collar to help seal the rim and match the contour of the rim profile. The valve core is removable so you can add sealant without removing your tire.

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

Overview

The WR35 650b fills the blank in our Falcon Pro lineup in 650b sector, and was built with one goal in mind: making the best rim possible for long distance gravel racing or riding.
With a massive 25mm inner diameter, the WR35 650b provides a stable profile for even the widest gravel tires.
Thanks to its mid-depth profile, the WR35 650b is deep enough to provide aerodynamic help when riding alone across gravel plains, but not so deep that is hard to control in crosswinds.

Mikael : Light Bicycle wheelset in snowy Helsinki! Falcon Pro 650b WR65 rims with Sapim spokes on DT350 hubs shod with Suomi Tyres Routa TLR. These wheels transformed the ride of my Rondo bike: the steering is more precise plowing through snowdrifts, and there's a new snappiness to accelerations. The studded tires were extremely easy to set up tubeless on the WR65 no-holes rims -- it was impossible with my old wheels! My old aluminum rims corroded and cracked from riding in the freezing cold with road salt, but Light Bicycle assured me carbon rims with brass nipples are impervious to Finnish winters. Looking forward to many years and 1000's of kms!

COMMENTS

Sam 2020/12/13

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my current bike packing wheels with some more light weight rims. I'm curious if the FALCON PRO rim WR35 650b would be strong enough for bike packing?

LightBicycle 2020/12/14

Hi Sam, The rider weight limit we recommend for the WR35-650b is 135kg. So if you are under 135kg. The 27.5er gravel rim would be ok for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle
