Ratchet This is a required option.
DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 3 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.
EXP 36 - With only a singlel spring, making the hubs faster and lighter, more complete engagement of the 36 ratchet teeth for more precise contact, and therefore a longer lifespan.

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.

TECH
Is it possible to get fatter and lose weight at the same time? Thanks to a lightweight single wall design, the FS680 rims save a pound of rotational weight compared to most alloy wheelsets, all while adding lateral stiffness. Weighing in at just 500g per rim, you’ll drop a significant amount of rotational weight from your fatbike without compromising strength or stiffness.
Example Wheelset Build: ONLY 1700G! Rims: FS680 Hubs: Tune Fat King/Fat Kong Spokes: Sapim CX-RAY Nipples: Sapim Polyax Secure Lock
Each wheel from Light Bicycle is built using the best industry practices by professional builders, ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
Tech Notes: 1. Bladed spokes or Sapim D-Light's are recommended for the FS680 wheelset. DT Swiss Comp Race or Revolution spokes stretch out too easily and would cause a poor wheel build with a single wall rim. 2. Use nipples with a standard head or Sapim Hex nipples only. Nipples with a tall head will cause an issue with the tubeless tape. 3. DO NOT use tire levers to install a tire or to unseat a tire on FS680 rims. The wall thickness is quite thin just past where your tire sits, and you may damage this area by prying on it!
WARRANTY
For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.
For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.
Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.
