Angel : Over several years I have built several wheelsets using LB carbon fiber rims. R45, AR46, AR36 Disc, Custom AR46/AR56 to repurpose Roval hubs with 16/21 spokes. The results have been excellent, every single wheelset has been straight forward to build and perform just as good if not better than the famous brands (I've owned Zipp, Roval, Enve). The quality is excellent and customer service the same.

John : I have to say I am very happy so far with my Light Bicycle AR46 build with Carbon Ti Hubs.
It also makes my bike look so much more exciting looking.

Luke : I've been riding Light Bicycle RR46C02 (now called AR46) rims on my Eriksen custom road/gravel bike for over 4 years now and love them. They built up nicely and have never needed truing since I built them. On dirt, I've been riding the EN733 (now Recon EN733) rims on my Ibis Mojo 3 for 4 years and have had zero issues. Rock solid and great customer service, I love the stealth look and all the customization that Light Bicycle offers. I'm looking forward to my next set of rims when I go to hookless road and to 29er mountain!

David : My Salsa Warbird was bought as a frameset which I then custom built with parts selected for performance and comfort for big gravel and offroad rides. So Shimano Ultegra R8020 for shifting with the RX800 clutch mech. Hope RX4 brake calipers, Praxis 48-32 crankset with 4iiii power meter.
I added comfort on rear with an Ergon Cf3 seatpost and up front fitting a Redshift Shockstem and Salsa Carbon handlebar. I wanted a nice fast tubeless wheelset with Carbon rims which had a wide internal width for wide gravel tyres and hookless! After searching online at the time Lightbicycle were one of only a very few that could deliver a wheelset with these requirements so I chose the mid depth 46mm laced with 28 CX-Ray spokes to a Hope RS4 straight pull hubs to match the Hope brake calipers! I currently have the amazing Rene Herse Snoqualamie Pass 44's on the wheelset. The wheels really compliment the frameset and help to get the best out of it when railing it offroad on gravel type road's and on road too! All in all a great wheelset and glad I chose Lightbicycle.
