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 Flyweight Carbon Regular Edition >> -It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things more aero, designed to unlimit your hub choice making your wheels more customizable than ever.
LB Flyweight Carbon Special Edition >> - It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things light, designed to pair seamlessly with our Speed Hubs through the use of specially designed aluminium nipples.
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.

Bead type This is a required option.

Hook is for road riders who value aerodynamic gains and mostly ride on smoother roads. If you plan to run high pressure, then a hooked/clincher rim is a safe bet.

Hookless is for those who are running wider tires, lower pressures, or are riding on rougher roads. You will benefit from a more comfortable ride due to the higher volume and increased impact protection. Gravel riders and cyclocross riders are often in this situation.

Both hook and hookless rims are built using the same dimensions and materials.
Find more about Hook VS Hookless >>

Hook

Hookless

Finish This is a required option.

Paintless: 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.

Crystal Painting: A fantastic painting effect designed by Light Bicycle.

Full Custom: This option offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR REQUIREMENT IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details.

Weave This is a required option.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer for cosmetic appearence.

The rim strength & weight is virtually identical.

Matte UD is the most popular and has a subtle look.

The futuristic Hexa-Comb and Braided UD are smooth and looks great on deep rims.
More info about Weave >>

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom weaves such as 3k twill vertical/ horizontal/ Braided UD etc with extra charge of $15USD/rim as a start but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Braided UD USD +15

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 +100/rim

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access 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.

No Access Holes: No spoke access 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.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

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.
More info about holes >>

With Drain Holes

No Drain Holes

Decal This is a required option.

1. Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro) - Our laser engraving technology is eco-friendly and adds a snappy, polished aesthetic to your new rims.
Please note: Contrary to rims with any coated/painted finishes (matte, glossy and satin) as well as Crystal Painting, laser engraving could work with paintless rims only.

2. Full Custom - Add some additional personalization and go full custom with your rim graphics! Laser engraving is available in one colour (light grey) and starts at $5 USD per rim. If you select this option, LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT. For example: "I need my personalized logo printed" or "Just text 'ABC racing' ". We will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details of custom graphics.

For a wheelset product, when selecting "Add Wheel Bag", you'll get two wheel bags; while for a single front/rear wheel product, you'll get one wheel bag.

None

Add Wheel Bag USD +25.5 each

Valve Stem This is a required option.

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.

Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

Light Bicycle : RIMS: WR40 disc Standard Hook UD Paintless Disc 28H External Hole With Drain Holes With Access Holes

light-bicycle-wr40-disc-on-a-pivot-vault

Tom : I wanted to upgrade my Pivot Vault with a really nice set of gravel wheels for ultra races and just having fun. When I saw a picture of a pair of crystal green painted rims I fell in love and despite my bike not having any green on it whatsoever, I just had to have them! So I ordered a pair of wavy WR40 rims (hooked with no spoke holes) built onto DT240 hubs with CX-Ray spokes and red alloy nipples. I also ordered a 3rd rim so I could get my existing SON 18 dynamo hub built up at home. Now I've been using the wheels for over 6 months now in all kinds of conditions and they're amazing! Having no spoke holes means no rim tape needed and this is a game changer for tubeless, I've barely had to pump up the tyres since I first set them up!

Stefan 2025/01/24

Hi, I am looking into buying a WR40 wheelset. In the pictures the finish of the paintless rims looks (semi) glossy, which I do not like as much as the matte finish on the AR46 for example. Is it possible to order the WR40 with a matte finish? Do you have example pictures of what that would look like? Thanks in advance, Stefan

LightBicycle 2025/01/24

Hi Stefan, Yes, it is okay to make WR40 with matte finish. You can list the WR40 road disc wheelset specs here. We can quote accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I'm going to be purchasing the WR40 Wheelset soon, but I'd like to benefit from my Canadian location and use your North American shop to save on duties/taxes compared to ordering from the Global shop. However, I noticed that the North American shop does not offer these rims with NO Access holes - can you confirm this is in fact true and if I want this option I must order from Global shop? Thanks.

LightBicycle 2024/10/25

Hi Michael, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, our North American shop does not have WR40 without access holes in stock now? But you can order with a tubeless tape if you need to use tubeless tire~ Or we can ship rims to our NA warehouse if you do not mind waiting, our NA team can build wheels gravel 700C or you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Raymond 2024/09/18

Hi, I've been looking at some of your wheels and have a few questions about the WR40 disc, namely regarding the "X-Flow"-profile, the profile schematic shows the spoke holes being aligned with the "widest" part of the variable cross-section of the trailing edge. Does this mean that a 24 spoke rim and a 28 spoke rim come from different moulds and each have a number of "waves" corresponding to the spoke count, or does the cross-sectional variation align with the spokes only for a specific (24?) spoke count, and if so, does it actually matter? How would you say the WR40 compares to the WR38 in terms of impact resistance, stiffness and crosswind stability? Is there some other difference to consider (besides the aero profile and 2mm height difference)? Is the difference between a normal UD finish and a braided one purely cosmetic, or does the construction of the top carbon layer have some impact on the rim's durability, stiffness, or some other technical or performance aspect? Thanks in advance :)

LightBicycle 2024/09/19

Hi Raymond, Thanks for reaching out. The shape of our x-flow is designed according to 24H, if you want 28H, then it is not completely consistent with the wave of x-flow. The WR40 road disc is higher so it has better impact resistance than the WR38. They're both U-shaped so they have good crosswind stability. The braided UD has no additional technical features, just a difference in appearance, but will weigh 20g/rim more than the UD. Thanks, Lightbicycle
