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.

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.

TECH

As more bikes become compatible with massive 2.8-3.2” tires, AM740’s are the opportunity to upgrade your ride into a plus bike, while still experiencing the incredible traction and stiffness only a lightweight carbon wheelset provides.

Not only are carbon plus wheels dramatically lighter than alloy, they are stronger as well. Running your alloy rims at low pressure usually means plenty of dents and a sluggish ride. Fortunately, AM740 solves both these problems with an incredibly durable and stiff profile, unleashing a new level of performance from your plus bike.

E-bike Approved! This wheel's Enduro Version is designed to be compatible with mid-drive e-bikes.

Ordered the AM740 with Industry 1/1 hubs and Sapim Dlite spokes. Received them in a timely manner and have a few rides on them. I have a Pivot Mach 429 Trail and it can run both 27.5+ and 29" wheels, Both sizes were ordered at the same time but the 29" (Recon Pro AM927) haven't come in yet. Both wheelsets are built up the same with only difference being the rim itself. I am thrilled by the quality of the AM740 wheels with 2.8" tires. They roll better than my old 27.5+ wheels, certainly lighter and I have considerably less flex. Tubeless was a cinch! No burping, No problems whatsoever!!!! Hopefully this is the way both wheelsets go for years to come.

Hi, I would like to get new rims for my old roadie. Currently running a Shimano 11s tiagra. Bike mainly used for road to and fro work where its mostly tarmac but bumpy. I'm a 105kg guy. could u recommend me a built for my kind of ride? looking to upgrade from my stock alu rims.

LightBicycle 2019/04/01

Hi Hilmi, What tire width do you use? 25mm wide ? Is it disc or non disc? Do you like road deep rims or shallow rims? Then we can recommend accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Lorenzo 2018/11/22

Hi, I am interested in the following wheelset built on AM740 rims REINFORCED, as I ride an ebike (2.8 tires) in very rocky terrain (my weight is 85kg, ebike 23kg): Front axle:15 / 110mm BOOST Rear axle: 12 / 148mm BOOST Freehub body:Shimano MTB 10/11S Brake system:6-bolt Front holes:28H Rear holes:28H Hub Color:Black Hub :Hope Pro 4 Finish:matte Weave:UD Also, could you please give me a price for TPD delivery? Thank you, L.

LightBicycle 2018/11/23

Hi Lorenzo, Yes, we can make a stronger version for you considering your riding condition. With extra carbon fiber, the estimated weight of the rims would be 630±25g. Is it ok with you? 28H would be a little risky to ride on rocky terrain, especially with an e-bike. I would recommend you go with 32H spoke count. For E-bike wheelset, it is better to choose DT competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 spokes or sapim race 2.0/1.8/2.0 spokes. Thanks, Lightbicycle

The bike I’m looking out runs a 152 spacing on the rear hub can you build a rear wheel to fit that

LightBicycle 2018/08/29

Hi Bill, Do you mean 12*157mm spacing? DH or super boost? We have both of them. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I’m looking at a pivot switchblade that has one 57 x 12 rear hub spacing can you build that?

LightBicycle 2018/08/29

Hi Bill, Do you mean 12*157mm DH or 12*157mm super boost? We have both of them. Please check which you like. Then we can quote accordingly for you. Do you like rear 650B wheel only or front+rear wheels? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Kirk 2018/05/31

Hello. I am a 200lb rider. I am wondering if I should get the AM740 or the EN740. I am not an extremely aggressive rider on a full suspension 130mm travel bike.

LightBicycle 2018/05/31

Hi Kirk, Basing on your weight, my suggestion is to go with the enduro version (EN740), 650B enduro rim. The additional carbon fiber makes the rims stronger and stiffer. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Stephen 2017/05/07

Hello guy's just looking for recommendation really, thinking of going carbon rims on my enduro bike, I do a lot of uplift days & aggressive trail rides at home (peak district in Derbyshire, UK) I'm looking at 40mm AM wheel sets are they up to the job? I'm 6ft & about 175lbs & ride at least 3 times a week with some all day rides too! Oh & lead time to the UK for delivery too! many thanks Steve.

LightBicycle 2017/05/08

Hello Stephen, Thanks for your inquiry. The AM740 is design for plus bike but suitable for aggressive mountain bike riding also. May I know what the tire width you use normally? Then we will double check if the AM740 is the best choice. Because I think our AM733 is more suitable for your riding. Thanks, Lightbicycle

JT 2017/04/24

Is the AM740 suitable for riders over 200#? I'm typically very easy on my wheels (trail rides less than 3 hours, no jumps, etc), but I'm still ~220#.

LightBicycle 2017/04/25

Hello JT, Thanks for your inquiry. According to your info, you don’t take aggressive riding, so the AM740 is suitable for your riding. But the AM740 is a plus rim. May I know what your riding terrain is normally? What the tire width you use? Then we will do some recommendations and quote accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Eric 2017/02/01

Hi! Is it possible to build these wheels AM740 DT with competition strait pull. Rear: 2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 on the drive side and 2.0 / 1.6 / 2.0 on the disk side. Front: 2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 on the disk side and 2.0 / 1.6 / 2.0 on the other side. I know you have weight toleranses on the rims. What is the lowest possible weight on a AM 740 rim? Is there any problems with aluminium nipples combined with carbone rims? White decal. Regards Eric

LightBicycle 2017/02/04

Hello Eric, Thanks for your inquiry. -Currently, only DT competition spoke straight pull 2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 are available. Does that work for you? -The lightest AM740 32H rim we stocked is 471g. But we cannot guarantee the lightest rim weight, we only can pick up the rims under 480g for you. -Normally, brass is a little heavier but less brittle. But we can build the wheels with alloy nipples. It is much lighter but the brass is much stronger. Thanks, Lightbicycle
