TECH

The WG44 (WG for Wide-Gravel) is our widest ever gravel-oriented carbon rim, meeting the needs of elite gravel riders, racers, and marginal gains enthusiasts.

With a massive 30mm inner diameter, the WG44 provides a stable profile for wider gravel tires. It reduces irregular air movements along the rim-tire interface. Air passes the tire and rim concurrently rather than being disrupted prematurely, making the best use of the 44mm aero depth.

Thanks to its mid-depth profile, the WG44 is deep enough to provide aerodynamic gains when riding alone across gravel plains, but not too deep to lose control in crosswinds.

Whether you find yourself racing across the Midwest or month long backpacking trip, the WG44 might just be the perfect match.

Hello, Is there a strength difference between the flyweight and standard version of the rim? I'll be using it for gravel racing and bikepacking, so besides weight strength is also very important to me. With kind regards, Nils Wildeboer


LightBicycle 2024/04/01

Hi Nils, The standard version is stronger than the flyweight version. What is your system weight? I recommend the standard version for your ride condition. Do you need the rims only or the whole wheelset 700C gravel? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Is having a 32H rim in this model more beneficial for a heavier rider (130kg) on a gravel bike??


LightBicycle 2023/09/03

Hi Marc , Yes, we could customize the rim for you, I have sent an email to you to discuss more details, please check it. Light Bicycle

Hello, Is it possible for the WG44 Disc rims to be made with internal nipple drilling? Specifically for Sapim superspokes which have 1,8mm threads. And if so, what would the ERD value be? I look forward to your reply. Frank


LightBicycle 2023/07/29

Hi Frank, Thanks for reaching out! Please find the answers below: Yes, we could custom drill the internal nipple holes, the diameter is 2.5+/-0.1mm by default. The ERD for the WG44 rim is 552.3mm (not including nipple head dimension) I have sent an email to you for discussing more details, please check it, thank you! Best regards, Light Bicycle
