Both hook and hookless rims are built using the same dimensions and materials.

The hookless version is designed with low pressure impact resistance in mind. If you are planning to run a higher tire pressure, the hooked version would be a better choice. See the tyre pressure information on the following RIM SPECS section of this page.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer.
3k/12k/UD/Hexa-Comb/Braided UD are the 5 options for cosmetic appearence that are available subject to certain rim models.
The rim strength & weight is virtually identical.
Matte UD is the most popular and has a subtle look.
The futuristic Hexa-Comb and Braided UD are smooth and looks great on deep rims.

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

WITH HOLES: This is the traditional method. Holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.

WITHOUT HOLES: No holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" and was made popular by Mavic. Some companies still refer to it as "UST style", however, UST is actually a specific interface between the tire and rim which was developed by a partnership between Mavic, Michelin, and Hutchinson.

With Holes

Without Holes

Decal This is a required option.

Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

Valve Stem This is a required option.

We use a lightweight black alloy anodized valves with an oversized concave collar for easy gripping. A rubber o-ring goes in between the rim and the collar to help seal the rim and match the contour of the rim profile. The valve core is removable so you can add sealant without removing your tire.

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

One 10 yard roll of tape will be included. It is typically covers 2 rims with two laps each or 4 rims with one lap each.The high tensile tubeless tape features a natural rubber adhesive that does not leave a residue on the rims. On mountain bike rims, one layer of 18mm width tape is strong enough to seal the access holes which makes for the lightest tubeless setup.

Peter 2020/09/10

Hello. I want to order the FALCON rim AR46 disc Road/CX/Gravel. But first; Can you tell me the pantone color for orange decals? And how about tax, is this incuded within the shippingcosts to the Netherlands? I want 28 holes for this disk wheels, my weight is 90 kg. I assume this won’t be a problem? Greetings Peter

LightBicycle 2020/09/11

Hi Peter, 1. The orange color code is Pantone Orange 021C. Here's an example photo for your ref. http://pic.lightbicycle.com/order/all/images/compressed/15592898919986261.png 2. We do offer a Tax-Prepaid Delivery for packages to the Netherlands. The cost would be USD139.2 for one pair of wheels road wheels. You don't have to pay for the tax during the process, it's included in the cost. You can see the option listed on the cart and checkout page. 3. 28H spokes would be ok for your riding on AR46 disc Road/CX/Gravel. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, Would it cost extra for me to just have the Lightbicycle decal around the valve stem in white on top of the clear coat? Thanks.

LightBicycle 2020/05/26

Hi Jua, We can offer the stickers for the valve triangle logo to you for free. Are you also considering order any road bike disc rims 700C? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Benno 2020/01/13

Hi, I was wondering, whether the AR46 Disc could be finished as the WR50 disc. I really like the look of the WR50 disc but I like the dimensions of the AR46 better than the ones of the WR50

LightBicycle 2020/01/16

Hi Benno, Yes, we can do finish close to what WR50 looks like, note that WR series (WR38/50) came out of the mold as a finished product, no post painting or finishing what so ever. The closest finish is satin, you can see the comparison between UD, matte, and satin from the attachment. We just sent pictures to your email address for these road disc rims pictures. Please check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jheremy 2019/09/16

Looking on getting these rims to build a set for my gravel bike, I usually run my tires (40C) around 30 PSI, So do you recommend hook-less for this set up, I'll be using I9 28 hole hubs. Also, I would like internal Spoke nipples as well. Do you have any Idea after payment it is done will take for you guys to send them? Thanks,

LightBicycle 2019/09/17

Hi Jeremy, 1. As you run the tire at low pressure (30psi), the AR46 road disc hookless version would be a good fit. 2. We can make the rims with internal nipple use drilling (2.5mm diameter) with no extra charges added. 3. Normally, it would take 12 business day for a rim for manufacturing, another 7~10 days for shipping & delivery. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, It that the price for only one rim? Or its the set of two? Thank You

LightBicycle 2019/09/11

Hi Teodor, The price is for one single bike rim. Please let us know if there is any question on this road disc rim. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Sascha 2019/08/12

Hi, For the AR 46 disc wheels, would you recommend the hook or hookless version for tubeless tires? Thanks, Sascha

LightBicycle 2019/08/12

Hi Sascha, For hookless version, it is better to ride less than 60PSI for tire pressure. For hook version, it can hole max 135PSI for tire pressure. How much tire pressure will you ride on AR46 disc wheels 28mm wide? Thanks, Lightbicycle
