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.

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!

Is it possible to get 177 rear spacing?

LightBicycle 2024/01/25

Nathan 2019/05/04

I would like to have a wheel built using the FS680 rim, but i would like to have it built with Onyx hubs. Is this a possibility? Thanks

LightBicycle 2019/05/05

Hi Nathan, Yes, Onyx fat hubs are available. Which size are you looking for? Do you like fat bike wheelset with front 15*150mm/rear 12*197mm? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Marc 2018/11/15

When will this size be available in 27.5? Several bike companies are moving to that wheel size.

LightBicycle 2018/11/16

Hi Marc, In fact, we do have future plans for making a 650b fat bike rim version of this rim (single wall profile). But I am afraid that have to wait till we got the result from our market analyzing. We need to see if there's a market demand on this. Thank you for bringing this to us. I will let you know when this is settled. You can also follow our on social media to get the fresh news. Thanks, Lightbicycle
