Comments on Recon RIM RM29C15

Carbon beadless 50mm wide 29 inch rims for 29 plus mountain bikes tubeless compatible

Kevin 2021/04/02

Looking to purchase another set of 29er x 50mm 36h extra strong for 65psi. I purchased before, and looking to buy again. Agent I bought from no longer with company.

LightBicycle 2021/04/03

Hi Kevin, For 29er plus hookless rims, normally we do not recommend 65psi, to prevent from tires blowing off. The rims strength will be okay, just high tire pressure will make tires blowing off while riding maybe. Did you use 65PSI on this rims before? And it works? If you confirm that the rims are okay, we can work on invoice for you. You need rims with +50g added and 36H, UD matte centered drilling. Right? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Michael 2019/06/12

Hi I might be interested in another set of rims. (5th set!) I may be able to sell my 29plus 50mm wide wheel set to a friend. If I buy another set they would be the 40mm model I had matt finish with the big carbon weave & no logos Is this not available on the AM 935? Also as a loyal customer what is the best price to the Netherlands? cheers Michael

LightBicycle 2019/06/13

Hi Michael, 1. Seems like your past orders were not under this mail address, could you let me know the previous mail address you used for ordering? 2. Yes, we can do no logo for the AM935 29er bike rimsfor you. Could you tell me the configurations that you want with the 29er All mountain wheels so I can quote accordingly? Returning customer discount included of course. 3. As for the weave, we currently only have the UD for the pro rims as the UD carbon fiber is the strongest in the same condition compared to 3k and 12k. Pro rims were aim designed to meet the strongest feature. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Timo 2019/05/04

Hello, does the heavy duty version of the RM29C15 have also an increased Weight limit?

LightBicycle 2019/05/05

Hi Timo, The Heavy Duty version does not change the rider weight limit. What's your weight and riding style? We can make a specially reinforced version for you according to your profile. The normal HD version is adding extra 50g carbon fiber to the rim. Our customized version, however, will add extra carbon according to your riding to make the 29er plus bicycle rim strong enough for your profile. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi there, What's the best spoke hole drilling pattern for a Rohloff hub? What diameter are the spoke holes? Rohloff recommend a minimum 4.4mm. Thanks, Geoff

LightBicycle 2018/07/05

Hi Geoff, May i have your hub specs link? And what spoke gauge do you use? Is it 13G or 14G? Then we can check which spoke hole diameter is good for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Alex 2018/04/04

Hi guys - for the 29-plus rim with offset drilling, how much adjustment do you recommend for spoke length to compensate for the offset? A typical non-plus design would add/subtract 1mm usually. Thanks!

LightBicycle 2018/04/05

Hi Alex, Thanks for your inquiry! For RM29C15 plus rim, the drilling offset is +/-4mm. Please find attached rim drawing. The spoke holes are drilling with offset+4mm and -4mm. Please let us know if there is any other questions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jason 2017/02/22

Why are the center drilled holes not in a straight line? Do the hole locations make the wheel weaker or heavier?

LightBicycle 2017/02/23

Hello Jason, Thanks for your inquiry. The 50mm wide 29er plus rim is much wider, so the spoke holes are drilled with center drilling which allow for better balance of tensions in a wheel build, resulting in a stronger, stiffer, and more durable wheel. It won’t make the wheel heavier but make it more reliable. Thanks, Lightbicycle
