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.

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.

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

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

Center Channel Hole & Nipple Hole This is a required option.

Center Channel Hole options:
1) 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.
2) 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" or referred as 'UST style'. Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

Nipple Hole options:
1) External Nipple Hole is the commentional way drilled for external nipples and is the default standard for Light Bicycle rims.
2) Internal Nipple Hole is drilled for internal nipples('upside down/ hidden style'). This is optional for some Light Bicycle rims.

Decal << Read It First 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.

Wheel Bag This is a required option.

Our all-new single wheel bag provides reliable storage for your wheel. Plus, an internal pocket is designed to store skewers and other tools. The wheel bag safely and comfortably accommodates most road and mountain bike wheels, including 700C, 26", 27.5", and 29" wheels. The wheel bag is with Light Bicycle logo by default. If you hope to get one without logo, please leave a note at checkout.

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.

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.

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.

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

John : I've built two tubeless endurance bikes with LB Falcon Pro rims and DT Swiss hubs - and I'll probably go for a third build soon. It doesn't take long for orders to ship, customer service is responsive, and the wheels are perfectly up to spec. I'm especially happy with the style of rim that omits access holes, making rim tape completely unnecessary.

Tim : Love these wheels. LightBicycle are my go-to wheels from now on. Had one set (AR45) built up by them, then ordered some rims (AR55) to build up another set myself. Fantastic build, super light, and will now need these on my mtb too. Can’t wait to build a new set this year. Keep up the good work LightBicycle!!!

Hello, I'm interested in the 45 clincher model. Are all of them for disc? Do you have any model specific for rim brakes? Thank you so much

LightBicycle 2020/05/30

Hi Amram, We don't have the rim brake version at the moment. It will be ready around one month later. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, Is it possible to order (from the Global Warehouse - shipping to Australia) - Falcon Pro AR45 w/ Industry Nine Torch w/ 6-bolt disc interface?

Specifically, this is my configuration that I've created: Wheelset AR45 disc RIM: Disc, Standard, hook, paintless, UD, 5 Years HUB: Industry Nine Torch, 12 / 100mm, 12 / 142mm, Shimano Road 11S Alloy, J-bend, 6-bolt, Gold (although can be black), 28H, 60T SPOKES: Sapim D-light NIPPLES: Aluminium Black ACCESSORIES: Black (default), Add Valve Stem, Apply Tubeless Tape Thank you!

Hi Bernie, Yes, we can build the road disc wheelset AR45 with the hubs you want. But, the 6-bolt hubs are not in stock, so it will take a few weeks to get them. We are on Chinese New Year vacation recently, will be back on Feb 16th. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Marcus 2020/08/23

Having a wheelset built by you, are you able to build it with internal nipples? Falcon Pro Ar 45 is the model.

LightBicycle 2020/08/24

Hi Marcus, Did you order the internal option when you first placed the order Falcon pro AR45 pro road disc and wheelset? The internal nipple hole is smaller than the external holes to fit the nipples. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Matt 2020/08/31

I believe Marcus is asking if you can make the rim with the nipples INSIDE of the rim, so they are not showing, thus improving aerodynamics. He is not asking about center channel holes. I would also like to know the answer to Marcus' question.

LightBicycle 2020/09/01

Hi Matt, Of course, we can custom made the nipple as internal for all bike rims. The internal nipple is one of the many options that we haven't listed online. There's too much customization that we can do, so the wheel builder will turn out loading really slow if we put all options online. You can order the custom options by email. Thanks, Lightbicycle

George 2020/05/29

Request for quote. Seeking for a set of carbon road wheels, black matt in color, 45-50cm. These will be going on my wife’s low power e-bike 240 watt. She is not a racer, we just want a nice looking aero wheelset. The e-bike has 160cm disk brakes, center lock , thru axle, and has boosted sizing so the hubs need to be 12 X 110 & 12 X 148. This is the set up for the Specialized Turbo Carbon Creo. What would be best price for these wheels keeping in mind that we are NOT seeking for super strength, or ultra light race wheels. Thank you.

LightBicycle 2020/05/30

Hi George, I will get back to you on the 12/110mm hub when I confirm the details from DT SWISS. We only have the standard boost 240 EXP hubs in our hands at the moment. Thanks, Lightbicycle
