Tyler : I ordered custom R88 and R65 rims with my logos printed on them and they came out absolutely amazing. Laced them to Hunt hubs and couldn't be happier. Insanely well priced, stiff, and very attractive. Lightbicycle was also incredibly easy to work with in regards to custom hoops!

Hi Im interested in a set of the Falcon r65 wheel set. I wanted to know if there are any plans to offer a pro version in the near future and if you can assist with some recommendations on spec for a build. Thanks in advance, Cam


LightBicycle 2021/12/30

Hi Cam, What kind of bike spacing of your bike? We do have deeper section pro road 700C rims. But not sure if they are suitable for your bike. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi guys, A couple of questions for you- -Are those (FALCON WHEELSET R65 DISC ) UCI approved? - What is the really world rider weight limit on those?...im about 95-100kg, would that be a risk for me? thank you!


LightBicycle 2021/11/03

Hi Elad, For R65 disc wheelset 700C, the rider weight limit is 135KG. It is strong enough for your riding. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi Lightbicycle. In general, would be possible for you to supply wheels with internal nipples? In particular, regarding the R65, would it be possible to supply them with Flyweight tech and Falcon Pro Series warranty policy? What would be the price and the approximate weight? I know that you have the WR65 but 32mm is too wide for what I am looking for. Best,


LightBicycle 2021/05/14

Hi Alex, Hi Alex, Thanks for reaching out! 1. Yes, we can make internal nipples for the rim if you want. It's not listed online, but I can send you the order via email later. 2. I am sorry the R65 700C bike rim warranty is 3 years because it's from the non-pro series. 3. We do have a lighter version of the R65 rim. I would like to know your weight and riding style to be sure if it's a good fit for you. The flyweight rim will be 480g+/-15. There will be USD10 added to the price. 4. We do have a non-pro-wide rim with 65mm depth. The WR65, 32mm wide/65mm deep. Thanks, Lightbicycle
