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.

Can these wheels be bought with carbon spokes?


LightBicycle 2023/08/06

Hi Eduardo, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, we could build the WG44 wheels with Carbon Spokes. I have sent an email to you, please check it. 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

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
