Finish This is a required option.

The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications. Our Recon Pro and Falcon Pro rims feature BlackTek and come out of molds as a completed product, with a scratch resistant and near flawless finish, eliminating the need for coating or painting. We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Weave This is a required option.

Rim Warranty This is a required option.

For Recon Pro Series ( MTB rim), Falcon Pro (road rim) and Drift Pro (fatbike rim), 5-year warranty is set as standard, and optional Lifetime Premium Warranty are kindly offered to purchase with minimum charge respectively.

5 Years

Lifetime USD +50/rim

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

WITH HOLES: This is the traditional method. 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 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.

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.

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.

COMMENTS

Nicolas 2021/02/22

Hi, I'm interested in those 28 mm wide / 35 mm deep Falcon Pro rims for disc brakes. I would like to build wheelsets using Novatec D411/D412 hubs, 24 Berd spokes (front and rear), internal aluminium nipples and 28 mm or 32 mm tyres. I have a few questions :) First, I weigh 70 kg, so I was thinking taking the Flyweight version. However, I was wondering whether the Flyweight version was strong enough to resist the harsh pavements we have here in Paris or to resist a hit in a pothole. Is it safer to go with the Standard version or is the Flyweight version strong enough ? Second, since I would like to use internal nipples, spokes' holes do not require to be as big as with external nipples. Is it then possible to have smaller holes ? Thanks Nicolas

LightBicycle 2021/02/22

Hi Nicolas, Do you like AR35 road disc rims 700C only? or complete 700C disc wheelset? It is okay to maufacture rims for internal nipples.The nipple holes will be 2.5mm size for itnernal nipple hole. For external nipple hole, it is 4.5mm size. Do you ride aggressively? Standard version is more durable than flyweight version if you do not mind the weight. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Nicolas 2021/02/23

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I'm interested in rims only. I want to build the wheelsets myself. For me it's part of the fun of building my bicycle :) It's good news that hole can be made smaller for internal nipples. I will be using my bike mostly for city commuting and travels. I don't race. But here in Paris we have quite a lot of bad roads with irregular pavements or potholes. So I was a bit afraid that the Flyweight version would be a fragile precious little thing you have to be very gentle with or if it could still be used without worrying too much as long as you respect the weight limit. Given my weight, I think I will take my chances with the Flyweight version :) (I will finalize the whole design of my bike first before ordering everything) Thanks Nicolas

LightBicycle 2021/02/23

Hi Nicolas, Thanks for your reply! Or you can try from flyweight/ rear standard version on the AR35 28mm wide road disc rims 700C. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, will these AR35 rims be available in hookless at all?

Hi Lucas, Actually, there are few people order hookless rims. So, at the beginning, we do not have hookless version for AR35 and AR45 road disc rims. It should be available around one month later. Thanks, Lightbicycle
