Justas : This is going to sound overly positive, but the experience and the product were and still is that way. Communication was clear and rapid. Manufacturing and shipping could be faster, but LB were very clear abou that upfront. Wheels are stiff, comfortable and of flawless quality. Would recommend (and already did to multiplw friends) and am planning to buy more LB wheels

Dme 2022/01/09

I love those wheels. I am wondering, is a netto weight of 75kg to combine with the flyweight option? and is it still also responsible or recommended or better not to. With clothes and teh bike itself is the weight is near 90kg i guess? Love to hear your opinion. Thank u!


LightBicycle 2022/01/10

Hi Dme, You are a light rider, so the flyweight version should be ok for you. It would be 410g+/-15 for each rim. There will be a USD12 added for the flyweight version rim. Have you figured out the road disc wheelset configurations yet? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Oleg 2021/10/22

Hello, I'm looking to AR46 wheelset. Not sure about the spokes. Are the Pillar Aero X-TRA 1420 good enough for moderate good paved roads? My weight is 75kg. Going to try with tubeless setup. Thank you.


LightBicycle 2021/10/22

Hi Oleg, 1. A 28mm wide AR46 road disc wheelset will work for your bike as the tires CUBE complete bike setup is 28mm. 2. If you are only riding moderate paved roads in good conditions, Pillar spokes would be enough. Especially the fact that you are not a heavy rider. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Matze 2021/07/02

Hey, I am a quite heavy sprinter (90 kg) and ride a lot of gravel or cyclocross -> are 24 spokes enough or should I go for 28? Do you offer DT Swiss 350 with 28 Spokes? Since I wash my bike a lot due to dirty conditions, do you include water drainage holes in the rims or are they not necessary? Thanks a lot Matze


LightBicycle 2021/07/02

Hi Matze, If you ride aggressively, you can go for front 24H/rear 28H. But we only have DT Swiss 240 exp road disc hubs with front 24H/rear 28H in stock. For DT Swiss 350 hubs, we only have front 24H/rear 28H available now. Or we can make rims road disc AR46 with around 50g carbon fiber material added( heavy duty version), then you can choose front 24H/rear 24H. What do you think? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Liam 2020/12/04

I'm after a set of disc road wheels. These ones look great - 28mm wide, 46 deep, and extremely light. But the description says they're for road, cx and gravel, but "gravel optimised". Does that mean a different set of wheels would be a better choice / faster for road?


LightBicycle 2020/12/07

Hi Liam, Can you describe the wind condition on your side? AR46 road disc wheels 700C provides better aerodynamics in no wind. Thanks, Lightbicycle
