Michael : 2018 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc with 25mm tires in the front, 32mm tires in the rear. AR465 X-Flow wheelset with internal nipples, oil slick Bitex hubes, and spokes. Had 0 issues in the 2+ years I rode them on the road. They performed and looked great in all conditions, including 20 MPH+ 90 degree perpendicular crosswinds. Custom decals also looked great. I recently sold this bike but the wheels looked as they did when new. 25mm GP5000 S TR in the front measured at 26.7mm, 32mm measured to a bit over 33mm. I never had issues installing, removing, or inflating tires. I suspect I may have needed a single tire lever, but it wasn't difficult otherwise.

Nick : After riding the AR375 for over a year I decided to get a Pair of the AR465, this time opting for the Flyweight option. This was actually my very first wheelset I built on my own, lacing the Rims on a Set of DT Swiss 180 EXP Hubs. They feel ever so slightly faster than the shallower AR375 but still stable in crosswinds. I took these to Mallorca earlier this year and can confirm that these are well capable of go fast up and downhill.
Germany
Light Bicycle : Rims: AR465 Disc Standard Hook UD Paintless Disc 24/24H External Hole With Drain Holes With Access Holes
Hubs: DT SWISS 240 EXP 12/100mm 12/142mm straight pull Center lock EXP 36 Shimano Road 11S Alloy
Spokes: Sapim CX Ray Black straight pull
Nipples: Sapim Aluminium Black
Decal: Custom laser engraving graphics
Desmond : I am impressed that LB allows customization for every order to suits their customers expectations while maintaining cost effectiveness. Most importantly, they produced rims which also cater for heavy riders like me. Hence, I customised my AR465 standard version to suit my weight with my preferred design. During the manufacturing process, I asked LB whether am I able to choose rim decal as an option to put up on my rim as laser engraving is the only option which a little too dull for me. As such, their sales representative, Koko, engaged me that she will throw in a few pieces of LB logo valve decal in my order based on my color selection. When I held the rim for the first time, it was very well built at its top notch quality in every details. In term of weight, it is lighter than my original rims.
Once I rebuilt my wheelset and brought out for my first ride, I experienced several bumps on the road, the rim still stay as trued as it should. Asthetically, it makes my road bike stands out than before.
Thanks to LB for making such great rims and I truly satisfied with my purchase. Thumbs up.

Roman : Went for a mullet custom setup for my Aethos. AR465 at the front, and AR565 at the back. Currently set up non tubeless, but will eventually hop over if thermoplastic tubes don't feel compliant and reliable. Wheels came in perfect, production as stated takes a while, but the marble weave finish is just nuts. Definitely wouldn't work for ANY bike, but for an organic/classic frameset like Aethos - looks beautiful imho.

Steve : AR465 with Corsa Pro TLR 28mm on 2021 Aethos Pro. Built with DT Swiss 240 hubs. Absolutely fantastic ride. Comfy and light, but also aero in high speed. And very stable in crosswinds.
