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.

Brake System This is a required option.

Non Disc - High TG Surface: Rim Brake 700C road rims use an advanced High TG resin system with a layer of graphene to help dissipate heat. The braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.
Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.
Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom braking track in other various weaves (UD/12K/3K twill etc) with 1-2 weeks LONGER on manufacture and extra $10USD/rim only as a start (with High TG Surface by default). 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.
Disc: The disc version does not have a rim brake track and features a unique disc specific layup process. Our new layup is about 10g ~30g lighter by reducing the unnecessary material and utilizing elements of our Flyweight construction method.
Non Disc - High TG Surface
Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface USD +30

Finish This is a required option.

Matte is slightly lighter and a more subtle finish (most popular). Glossy has a shine to it.
Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) 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 TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Weave This is a required option.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer for cosmetic appearence.
The rim strength & weight is virtually identical.
Matte UD is the most popular and has a subtle look.
The futuristic Hexa-Comb and Braided UD are smooth and looks great on deep rims.

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.
More info about holes >>
With Drain Holes
Decal This is a required option.

Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

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 Thrust-4 Carbon - The Thrust-4 Carbon spokes are designed to boost high tensile strength. The 4mm all-road profile ensures great crosswind stability.
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.

Brake System This is a required option.

Non Disc - High TG Surface: Rim Brake 700C road rims use an advanced High TG resin system with a layer of graphene to help dissipate heat. The braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.
Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.
Disc: The disc version does not have a rim brake track and features a unique disc specific layup process. Our new layup is about 10g ~30g lighter by reducing the unnecessary material and utilizing elements of our Flyweight construction method.
Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface USD +30

Evar : Had a race on my tt bike with Light Bicycle wheels on Saturday. The wheels are amazing!
Estonia
John : These are the first rims I purchased by LB, it's a customized 65 mm deep rim set. I've been riding them for a few thousand km now and they are totally worth it. Actually they were so convincing I wanted to add new wheels/rims to another bike again customized and I have been helped big time by Ms. Charlie Sū! Shout-out to the best consultation I've ever received. I have no doubt the new order will be as terrific as the first!

Hello! I’m looking to upgrade my wheels on my Cannondale Caad 10 with rum brakes (yes I know it’s old but still love the frame) and was wondering what you would recommend? I’d like to stick with at least a 40mm lip? Thanks

LightBicycle 2021/12/21
Hi Paul, Can you tell me the calipers you have on your bike right now? What would be the tire width you plan on running? I am thinking of the 25mm wide rims 700C bike, but worry if the caliper can fit the 25mm width. Or if you want to use narrower tires, 23mm rims might be a better fit. Thanks, Lightbicycle

What would you recommend for a 2016 Specialized S-Works Venge ViAs?

LightBicycle 2020/12/15
Hi Phil, The wheels 700C of the S-works Venge ViAs are Roval CLX 64. The internal is 20.7mm and the outer width is 29.9mm. Are you looking for a similar measurement wheelset? We do have a new coming in AR55 (21mm internal, 28mm outer width). It's a new rim from our Falcon Pro series, which is highly scratch-resistant, and stronger than traditional rims. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi. Interested in 88mm non-disk QR wheelset with no drilled holes inside inner rim bed (for tubeless). Rear 18 spoke Sapim CXRay straight pull, laced 2:1. Front 16 spoke Sapim CXRay straight pull, laced radial.

LightBicycle 2020/12/01
Hi CG, Yes, we can build a 2:1 wheel with the R88 rim 700C for you. But please confirm that if your bike has enough spacing to put the R88 (18.82mm inner/26.54mm outer width), the widest area is 30mm. Will Bitex hubs work for you? It's the 2:1 we can get. Do you have any ideal hub in mind? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Would you have 88mm deep wheels for my 2019 Specialized Sirrus Elite disk brake style. These are the specs for the brakes: FRONT BRAKE TRP Flow Set Control, hydraulic disc, resin pads, flat-mount, 160mm REAR BRAKE TRP Flow Set Control, hydraulic disc, resin pads, flat-mount, 140mm This is my bike: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/mens-sirrus-elite-alloy/p/154505?color=&searchText=80918-4002 Please get back to me asap. Thanks

LightBicycle 2020/09/09
Hi Jambert, I highly suggest you check with the frame spacing of your bike to ensure the R88 is ok to fit. Because the widest area of R88 is 30mm. Not sure if this is ok with you. The widest area of R65 is 28.09mm in case you are wondering. Is it your bike or brake caliper wide enough? The brake track area is around 25.6mm wide on R88 rims. Thanks, Lightbicycle
