Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 3 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.

EXP 36 - With only a singlel spring, making the hubs faster and lighter, more complete engagement of the 36 ratchet teeth for more precise contact, and therefore 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.
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.

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

WITH 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.

WITHOUT 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.

Without Holes

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole help evacuate the water trapped inside the rim, using the centrifugal force of rolling wheels.
Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims 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.

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.

One 10 yard roll of tape will be included. It is typically covers 2 rims with two laps each or 4 rims with one lap each.The high tensile tubeless tape features a natural rubber adhesive that does not leave a residue on the rims. On mountain bike rims, one layer of 18mm width tape is strong enough to seal the access holes which makes for the lightest tubeless setup.

Is there a chance you can do these rims in feather weight option also? A rim like this onw under 400 grams would be cool!

LightBicycle 2020/08/18

Hi Relu, May i know your weight please? Do you ride aggressively? Then we can check how much weight of AR56 road disc 700c rims is better for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jochem 2020/07/14

Hi all, I'm interested in a pair of light bicycle wheels. However, I'd want something with a 21mm inner width and 28mm outer width, and a depth of more than 50mm. Do you have something like that? Or are you planning to make that? 23mm inner width is just a bit too much for my road bike.

LightBicycle 2020/07/14

Hi Jochem, Yes, we do have something deeper than AR56 with the same width(28mm wide/56mm deep) road disc. But the model is not available online at the moment. Please check your email. We just sent you the rim profile. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello everyone, the DT Swiss 240s EXP (rear) also exists with 28 spokes but there is only the 24 spoke option. The 350 has both 24 and 28 spoke options. Do you also have the 28 spoke DT Swiss 240s EXP rear hub available? (24 is perfectly fine for the front) Cheers, Kai

LightBicycle 2020/06/18

Hi Kai, 28H EXP hubs for road disc wheels will arrive around one month later. Is it okay for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Witek 2020/02/05

Hi LB You should do this more classic width (best for 25-28mm tire) in the PRO version. Not every frame can take 32mm rim Will it hapen?

LightBicycle 2020/02/06

Hi Witek, Appreciated for the suggestion, yes, we aware that only some frames can fit with 32mm wide rim on the market now. The Pro series was designed for gravel use only. More and more gravel bikes are with the wider frame now. As for the tire fitting, according to our test, 32mm wide WR series rims are very easy to install 25c/28c tires from the most brands on the market. They are WR35/wr45/wr38/wr50 road disc wheels. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jesse 2019/11/05

Hi Light Bicycle, For orders to California, do I need to use the North America ordering options, or can I also order using Global options? Thanks, Jesse

LightBicycle 2019/11/06

Hi Jesse, 1. You can order road disc wheelset 700C from both warehouses as long as the options and prices are ok with you. 2. We only stock the most popular options in the North America warehouse, so if you are looking for something more customized, you can check out the Global options. 3. You might notice that the hubs options are quite different, you can purchase Novatec, Bitex, Hope, DT, Tune from Global warehouse, and the Industry Nine, Onyx hubs are mainly offered by the North American warehouse. 4. The shipping and delivery are also different for two warehouses, North America uses UPS/USPS, while Global uses EMS. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Marcin 2019/10/06

Hi, I found some different information on your website. Can you verify this? In description here you wrote that on this rim we can install tires 28C to 50C but in label above there is information that for this wheel we can use 23C to 50C. So, what is correct? Best regards Marcin

LightBicycle 2019/10/07

Hi Marcin, Thanks for your correction! 23C~50C is the correct one for this 30mm wide road disc wheelset.I will have our guys correcting it these days. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

John 2019/09/25

Can these wheels come with hidden nipples and no rim bed holes.

LightBicycle 2019/10/01

Hi John, Yes, it is okay to manufacture the AR56 road disc wheels with internal nipples. The nipples will be hidden inside. And it is okay to make wheels without spoke access holes on rim bed. We can work on invoice for you if you are ready to order. Or you can place the order through our website and leave a message on the order. Then we can see it and will double check with you to make sure everything is correct. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Juno 2019/09/21

Hi, I wanted to order an AR56 wheelset using the Global Options. I have 2 questions: 1) Could I get the front wheel with Sapim CX-Ray spokes and the rear wheel with Sapim Race spokes? 2) I want to get the wheels with Stealth (Grey) decals under the clearcoat. Could I buy an additional set of stickers in Orange that I could affix and remove later?

LightBicycle 2019/09/23

Hi Juno, Please find our reply as below. 1. Yes, it is okay to build this road gravel wheels disc with front sapim cx-ray spokes, but rear with sapim race spokes. 2. It is okay to manufacture grey decal under clearcoat. But we do not have orange road wheels stickers here. I am sorry about that. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, Do you do the logos in black? If so, would I just select "no logo" when purchasing and put that request in the notes? Thanks. Ian

LightBicycle 2019/09/16

Hi Ian, Yes, we can make the logo in black on these 30mm wide gravel road disc wheelset. You can just leave your requirement when you check out or allow me to create the order for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle
