B 2024/10/08

I have a set of DT Swiss RR22 Dicut Disc Brake Wheel Set. Great pair of wheels but outdated rimvise. Rims are 18mm inner , to narrow for everything above 25mm. Is it posible to replace rims for Falcon Pro AR25 rims while keeping hubs and spokes? I guess new nipples are in order?

LightBicycle 2024/10/09

Hi Sir, What is the ERD of the DT Swiss RR22 Dicut rim? If the ERDs are close or the same then the spoke lengths are the same. For nipples, it is better to use new ones. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, I am looking to buy these rims (Falcon Pro RIM AR25 disc) and build them myself. Can you please tell me what is the spoke length I need for Sapim CX-Ray for 24/24 2x cross for Chris King R45D hubs?

LightBicycle 2024/09/23

Hi Chris, Thanks for reaching out. The spoke length of the AR25 wheelset 700C disc with Chris King R45D hubs （J-bend, 24H, center lock) and 14mm nipples is as below for your reference. It is 2 cross for the front and rear wheel. The front wheel drive side: 283mm non drive side: 281mm The rear wheel drive side: 281mm non drive side: 283mm Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mike 2023/07/25

I am interested in using Ar25 for my road bike to make I a light weight climbing wheel set. . I am on Enve ar3.4 and I like the wide inside dimension, but want a shorter side wall because of cross winds on the mountain I climb several times a week. Do you think these are the best rim for this application? Thanks

LightBicycle 2023/07/26

Hi Mike, Nice to see you :D The AR25 is with an Inner/Outer Width: 24mm/29.2mm, Depth 25mm. It's intended for Gravel use and with super lightweight (250g+/-15 only) and has the proper compliance to absorb the shocks from the gnarly ground. Nimbleness and stability, you can eat your cake and have it. Best regards Light Bicycle

Andi 2023/07/25

Hi It says max tires pressure for 28 mm is 70 psi. Is that for tubeless setup or clincher setup? Or what is the max tires pressure if I'm using inner tubes? Thank you

LightBicycle 2023/07/25

Hi Andi, If you are planning on running with tubes. What would be the tire size? 28C? Usually, the difference is small. So you can take 70psi as a max reference. Thanks, Lightbicycle

David 2023/07/08

Hello! On this rim (AR25 / road) is it possible to apply the option "No Access Holes"? Will I be able to fit in 12/14mm sapim nipples? How realistic/possible is a custom(?) 32 hole order? Regards from Berlin, David

LightBicycle 2023/07/10

Hi David Linden, Good day! Thanks for reaching out! I read your message on our website. Here are the answers: 1. Yes, we could apply the AR25 rim 'No access holes'. 2. Yes, if you want to build 'No access hole' AR25 wheels, you could build them with 12/14mm Sapim nipples. 3. We could customize 32 holes on the rims. Best regards, Light Bicycle

Paweł 2023/04/04

Hi, do you think AR25 will be OK for 100-105kg rider+bike combined (gravel bikepacking), or should I order a strenghtened version?

LightBicycle 2023/04/04

Hi Pawel, Our recommended rider weight is 90kg. A reinforced version would be more suitable if 100~105kg rider+bike combined. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Eric 2023/02/06

Is it possible to buy this rim with 32 holes and a glossy finish? Would this customizations affect the weight of the rim? Thanks!

LightBicycle 2023/02/07

Hi Eric, Yes, we can drill the AR25 super light 700C disc rim with 32 holes for you. Can you tell me your hub specs so we can confirm if you need special drilling angles? Glossy is a paint finish. AR25 rims came out of the mold as a finished product, so no paint is applied by default. Please confirm if you want to add extra glossy paint to the rim. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Łukasz 2022/10/17

Hi! Do you offer AR25 rims without access holes or with carbon spokes? I can’t see those options being available in the configurator. Thanks, Łukasz

LightBicycle 2022/10/17

Hi Lukasz, 1. If you want carbon spokes, the lead time would be 2 months. And it cannot be build without access holes because the nipples are inside of the rim chamber. 2. You can have AR25 700C DISC without access holes. I will send you the order via email when you confirm the specs you want. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Wes 2022/10/14

Does the max weight include the bicycle and gear or just the rider? I weight about 72kg and my bike and gear weigh about 15kg, which would put me very close to the 90kg limit for the AR25 rims. Thanks

LightBicycle 2022/10/15

Hi Wes, The max weight 90KG is for rider weight only. Do you ride aggressively? gravel or road disc bike? Then we can check whether AR25 700C good for you or not. Thanks, Lightbicycle
