TECH

The overall depth alternates between 18.1mm to 21mm, creating a ribbed inner circumference. The unique combination of a stepped sidewall and shapely rim bed gives the carbon rim extra vertical compliance. A finely-tuned Toray T700 layup features layers of carbon nanotubes in key areas to further the vibration damping properties. Carbon nanotubes increase impact resistance by 10% without adding weight. The final result? An all-around player making light work of tough trails.

The thickened rim bead, along with the smooth edge, offers great protection for your tires when hitting an obstacle - the impact energy gets dispersed faster on the broad surface. This greatly reduces the risk of pinch flats (snakebites). The wide profile provides a stable platform with less force required to mount tires.

Brandon : I've been riding the AM930S wheels for about a year on my 150/135 trail bike and they have been flawless. They've held up to everything I've thrown at them in the Southwest US and in the Rockies. Build quality is exceptional!

Can you get dt 350 157mm super boost rear hubs? If so would the price be similar to other 350 hubs?


LightBicycle 2024/02/13

Hi Ben, Thanks for your inquiry! We do have DT 350 12*157mm super boost rear hub 6-bolt disc, J-bend. Do you like rear hub only or complete mtb wheelset? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Can you use BERD spokes in this wheelset? How do u get the 1270 gram wheelset and do u have wheelsets close to 1kg in weight? LIGHT XC?


LightBicycle 2022/06/22

Hi Sir, It is okay to build this AM930S wheelset 29er with Berd spokes. AM930S is not the lightest XC wheelset. If you like light XC 29er wheelset, we recommend our 29er RM29C06 as below link. The flyweight version is really light. https://www.lightbicycle.com/beadless-carbon-29er-XC-light-weight-mtb-tubeless-wheelset-hand-built-27mm-wide.html Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2022/03/02

Hi John, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, we do have some Industry Nine hubs featured with a 15/157mm super-boost axle. Will this be ok for you? Or you have other preferred brands? Thanks, Lightbicycle
