TECH

The WG44 is aero-optimized in width and depth dimensions, delivering a fast-rolling feel previously available only in narrow gravel rim and tire pairings. Featuring an inner width of 30mm and the widest part of the sidewall at 40mm, the WG44 reduces irregular air movements along the rim-tire interface. Air passes the tire and rim concurrently rather than being disrupted prematurely, making the best use of the 44mm aero depth. Even on wider, plusher tires you’ll benefit from this design.

The WG44 features a versatile 44mm aero depth. In exposed areas, the 44mm depth brings enough aero gains and responsiveness without losing control in crosswinds. Adventure anywhere on the WG44!

When configuring the wheelset, you will find a variety of hubs and spokes from brands like DT Swiss, Carbon-Ti, and Sapim to choose from. We only list some of the most popular options, so feel free to get in touch with us to special order. With over 10 years of wheel-building expertise, we calculate the spoke lengths, handlace the wheels to the desired pattern, tension and true the wheels, and do stress-reliving to get your product in a perfect state. You can install the wheels to start a new adventure immediately upon receiving it.

Pascal 2023/12/30

Hi, I was recommended by one of your customers who happens to have the same bike as mine, an OPEN WI.DE with SRAM Force eTap AXS drivetrain, Eagle XX1 AXS rear derailleur, and a 10-50T cassette. I currently ride on a pair of Enve AG25 and I would like to add another set of wheels for 70/30 road use. I most likely will mount tires from 32mm to 40mm max, like the Specialized Pathfinder Pro or similar. Could you please tell me the cost of a WG44 wheelset with DTSWISS A)180 hub B)240 hub? Thank you. Pascal


LightBicycle 2024/01/02

Hi Pascal, We have sent an email to you with the quotes, please check and let us know if you have any further concerns. BR, LIGHT BICYCLE

Does this have x-flow profile?


LightBicycle 2023/08/01

Hi Jon, We are sorry, but the WG44 is not in an X-Flow design. If you like this kind of profile and in-depth 40mm, you could go for the 'WR40' disc rim, with inner /outer Width: 25mm/32mm. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Best regards Light Bicycle

Jesse 2023/07/30

Hi there, I'm curious if you would be willing to lace a set of your new WG44 rims, to some DT240 or DT350 hubs, with 15x110 and 12x148 boost spacing? I'm looking at building a drop bar 29er, and I love the idea of some "aero" profile rims for a true rigid mtb with some 2.0" tires. Thanks, Jesse


LightBicycle 2023/07/31

Hi Jesse, Thanks for reaching out! I have sent an email to you about the quote, please check it. BR Light Bicycle
