Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 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.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes 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 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.

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.

Overview

The Flyweight rim targeted specifically towards racers who seek every possible edge on the race course. Our goal was to produce the lightest possible rim without sacrificing performance.

Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and countless revisions in each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to produce a strong and stiff gravel rim while dramatically reducing the weight.

Construction: We used a special uni-directional pre-preg with a very low fiber areal weight. This is an exclusive process to our Flyweight rims. To further reduce the weight we used a blend of Toray T700 and T800 specific layups. We opted for a new subtle ultralight waterslide graphic in glossy black with a matte finish overtop in the spirit of keeping these as funny cyclocross cross riding oriented rims.

Ben : Dear Lightbicycle, I just wanted to say thank you. I have recently installed my LB wheels on my gravel bike (my third set of LB wheels) and rode them today. They are fantastic. In quality, rideability and fun, they are the best I could hope for. I would not change a thing. I should add that the tubeless preparation you did was perfect. I was able to install Maxxis Rambler tires easily with a floor pump! Please keep being awesome. 加油！ Ben Sallanches, France

Olaf : i just finished the Bike for mi wife. It is incredibly light and accelerates the very light bike extremely quickly. Especially gravel paths and wading paths with 1.5 bar air pressure are a dream to drive. At the front there is a 2.3 Specialized Fast Track tire and at the rear there is a 2.2 Specialized Renegade. The whole bike only weighs 7.5kg thanks to your super light wheels I am planing the next project, so will write you soon again.

i got Falcon WHEELSET AR24 DISC it says "hookless clincher" is it safe to put clincher tire? people say it's safer to put tubless tires on hookless rim? thanks.

LightBicycle 2024/06/13

Hi Sam, The AR24 is compatible with clincher tire. The clincher tires are safe to install as long as maximum tire pressure is not exceeded. What tire width are you going to use? How much tire pressure will you ride? Thanks, Lightbicycle

I can see only the novatec hub can be either 12 or 15mm front axle. Can you provide end caps for hub conversion from 12 to 15mm (or reverse) so the wheel could be used on 12mm fork AND 15mm fork ?

LightBicycle 2021/12/25

Hi Julien, Yes, I am sorry that end caps are hard to access now. But we can get a conversion kit for Industry Nine hubs and Carbon-Ti hubs if you are interested. Which gravel wheelset do you like? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi! I bought these wheels with the novatec d411/412 hubs. Are these considererd road hubs and should I use a spacer when installing a shimano mtb-cassette?

LightBicycle 2021/03/17

Hi Erik, Thanks for reaching out! You can take our freehub compatibility recommendation chart for ref. https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/Bike-Freehub-Cassette-Compatibility-Manual.html On the other hand, you can configure the wheelset with MTB Novatec hubs here. https://www.lightbicycle.com/beadless-carbon-29er-XC-light-weight-mtb-tubeless-wheelset-hand-built-27mm-wide.html Thanks, Lightbicycle

Valtteri 2020/04/23

Hello! I'm looking for something truly light, as I'm giving my bike a diet to lose weight and I'd like to gain more performance out of my riding. I ride on gravel and tarmac, and occasional steep hills. So something fast but also comfortable on longer rides. Out of curiosity, how would wheels like the AR24 disc, as they seem to be your lightest, handle on long mixed road rides? I am not looking to race them. I'm also interested in the AR28 and WR35 disc models. How would these compare?

LightBicycle 2020/04/24

Hi Valtteri, 1. Yes, AR24 is the lightest rim we have. In fact, it's one of our oldest model (on the market for many years now). It was intended to design for XC riding (MTB model RM29C06) at the time. But as the disc road bike industry changes, road rims become wider and wider nowadays. Some of our customers use this XC rim as gravel rim. The reason why we put AR24 under the gravel category recently is that people always ask for lighter road rims. That been said, the AR24 only available in the hookless bead version, so you cannot run high pressure with it. 2. AR28 gravel bike rim(22mm internal, 29mm outer width, 28mm depth) on the other hand, was a specific design for gravel riding. You might notice that AR28 is an asymmetrical rim with a 2mm offset. This will help the wheels become more balanced. 3. We do have another superlight rim released recently, it's the AR35 (21mm internal, 28mm outer width, 35mm depth). The flyweight version is only 350+/-15g. The other highlight of this model is the manufacturing technologies (first launched in 2018) that applied to the rim. The rim comes out of the mold as a finished product by using a special release agent and high accuracy mold. The rim won't need any post-production because the finish itself is strong and without flaws. You can easily notice the carbon fiber texture. This requires high accuracy and meticulous production. The outcome for rim performance is stronger and high scratch resistance. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Looking for a light, low profile, disc brake climbing wheel. The AR 24 recommends tires above 28C. What if I run 23-25C?

LightBicycle 2020/04/17

Hi Keith, For 22mm internal width rim, 23-25c tires would be a bit narrow to fit, which the 700C rim wouldn't hold the tires on as good. So it would be better to keep the tire within the range 28~50c. Thanks, Lightbicycle
