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.

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.

Finish This is a required option.
Matte is slightly lighter and a more subtle finish (most popular). Glossy has a shine to it.
Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) 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 TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

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.

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.
Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

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.

Camilo : Both bikes feature a WR rim, one with 45mm depth and the other 65mm.
Awesome handling in crosswinds due to the ultra wide rim profile and the 25mm internal makes the wheels very comfortable.
United States
Jim : My second set of WR45s. Fantastic wheels. Light, fast, durable. I'm in the process of ordering a third pair.
United States
Tomas : I have been researching a carbon wheelset for 2 years until I finally pulled a trigger on these WR45. Since my frame can take up to 35mm tires, 32mm external width is a great way to future-proof your bike. The bike feels way different compared to alloy wheels, it accelerates way faster, it holds its line when descending and honestly looks way cooler. It is though sensitive to wind but still very bearable. I would not recommend pairing it with 28mm tire. GP5000s were really hard to mount and I had to use tire levers. I have just switched to 32mm and it is way different story, no levers needed. Huge benefit is being able to customize these wheels with spokes and hubs, I opted for dt swiss 240exp and sapim cx rays for wide availability of spare parts. Customer service was flawless and wheels arrived approx. 4 weeks after placing the order.

Peter : Couldn’t be happier with this Lightbicycle wheelset. Great quality, looks sharp, and rides well.
United States
Daniel : I recently added the WR45 Wheels to my Cannondale SuperX - fantastic set of wheels and great value. I weigh almost 100kg and take this bike most places including some great MTB trails in Singapore - overall I highly recommend it! I am about to order a second pair so I can set it up for road rides.
Singapore
Miguel : The wheels are built like a tank. They're light and stiff, but can take a great deal of beating. I'm sure I'll have them for a long time. :)
Australia
Wayne : Put a set of WR45s on my gravel bike and couldn't be happier. Built up with DT 350's for durability and have put a couple thousand miles on them. I did BWR NC with this setup and it flies down the road and is still tough enough for the rough stuff.

Hello, Could you please provide a quote for a 42/49 700c wheelset using Falcon Pro layup, DT 240 EXP 36T, 24H, Sapim CX Ray, with Matte Black UD weave setup for Tubeless? Thank you
LightBicycle 2025/07/26
Hi Shaun, Thanks for reaching out! We do not have 42mm/49mm deep road wheels 700C. But we have 40mm/45mm/50mm, does it work for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I'm looking at the WR45 wheelset and considering normal rim vs flyweight. Would the flyweight option be suitable if used for bikepacking, with the extra overall weight of the system? Cheers Cam
LightBicycle 2023/08/14
Hi Cam, Thanks for reaching out! May I know the weight within bike-packing in total? I send you an email, please check it. Looking forward to your reply : ) Lightbicycle

Hi Light Bicycle, I was loooking at the Falcon Wheelset WR45 with DT Swiss 240 hubs. I was hoping to get 32 spoke count on the rear wheel and 28 for the front but this does not appear as a an option in the configuration. Could you please advise me if this configuration is available and please sent through a quote to my email address. Cheers Andrew
LightBicycle 2022/06/28
Hi Andrew, We could supply DT 240 EXP road disc font 24H rear 28H hubs for WR45 Gravel wheelset 700C . Is it okay for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

I'm looking for a lightweight wheelset that could be used for gravel races which might also have a high percentage of tarmac, so a deeper wheel section is also preferred. My weight fluctuates between 70-73kg, and I would like to run a 45c tire. Would the WR45 disc set with a flyweight build be a good option for me, and if so, what would the recommended spoke count be?
LightBicycle 2022/06/06
Hi Thomas, Yes, WR45 road disc 700C would be a good option for you based on your description. The flyweight rim is recommended for riders under 90kg. So I think it should be no problem. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Do you have any of the Pilar spokes in rainbow color? If not, what color do you have?
LightBicycle 2020/11/13
Hi Sean, Yes, we do have colored spokes available, we will have to special purchase for you if you need it. Have you figured out the full wheelset configurations that you plan to have yet? If not, maybe I can help? But I will have to learn more about your needs and riding conditions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I’m checking out the 700c WR45 disc Wheelset options. With the flyweight rim and the carbon ti hub, is it possible to increase the spoke count to 28 or 32 spokes? Thanks
LightBicycle 2020/06/12
Hi Calum, Yes, we can get 28H or 32H spoke count Carbon-Ti hubs for you if you want. The reason why we only have 24H online is that most people after the super lightweight of Carbon Ti hubs, tend to get fewer spoke count to get the wheelset road disc lighter. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Considering the hooked vs hookless have the same internal width, which would recommend for a road bike? I don’t mind running tubeless tires, so that isn’t an issue. Would hookless rims and tubeless tires hold up in tight cornering crit races? I think the tire shapes out better on hookless rim, so I’m leaning that way.
LightBicycle 2020/02/11
Hi Jeff, If you are planning on running high pressure (more than 80psi, less than 130psi), you should go with the hook version to hold the tires on. If you will only run under 80psi, hookless would be ok for the condition. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I'm interested in something with at least 45mm depth, 23-28 internal width, external isn't as important, whatever is strong. Also want 32 spoke holes per wheel, what do you have for me, please send an email. Thanks, Anton
LightBicycle 2020/02/10
Hi Anton, We have below road disc rims 700C close to your specs. Which do you prefer? WR45: width 25mm inner/32mm outer, 45mm deep WR50: width 25mm inner /32mm outer, 50mm deep. It is okay to order 32spoke count. Don't worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle
