54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes 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.
LB Thrust-4 Carbon - The Thrust-4 Carbon spokes are designed to boost high tensile strength. The 4mm all-road profile ensures great crosswind stability.

Brake System This is a required option.

Non Disc - High TG Surface: Rim Brake 700C road rims use an advanced High TG resin system with a layer of graphene to help dissipate heat. The braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.

Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom braking track in other various weaves (UD/12K/3K twill etc) with 1-2 weeks LONGER on manufacture and extra $10USD/rim only as a start (with High TG Surface by default). If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Disc: The disc version does not have a rim brake track and features a unique disc specific layup process. Our new layup is about 10g ~30g lighter by reducing the unnecessary material and utilizing elements of our Flyweight construction method.

Finish This is a required option.

Matte is slightly lighter and a more subtle finish (most popular). Glossy has a shine to it.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3-5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Weave This is a required option.

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 Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access 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.

No Access Holes: No spoke access 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.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole effectively help evacuate both the water trapped inside the rim and the air leaking into the rim chamber caused by nonperfect tubeless tape sealing handwork that may risk rim explosure in an aggressive tire inflating.

It is the small reinforced layer prelaminated on the area where the drain hole is drilled later that makes the rim strength fairly ensured without any compromise of weight added.

Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims with drain holes.
More info about holes >>

With Drain Holes

No Drain 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.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

Overview

Whether you’re chasing KOMs, racing criteriums, or preparing for your first Gran Fondo, the R35’s are ready to take you to the next level. The deep profile is easy to handle in crosswinds, and comfortable to ride on rougher roads or rolling terrain.

Coming in at only 435g per rim, the U35 is designed to help you soar up the climbs while still given you that aerodynamic edge when the road becomes flat. The 17.9mm internal width works with anything from a 23mm to 33mm road or Cyclocross tire.

David : As a long time fan of Light Bicycle wheels, I've purchased a few sets, however the ones on this 1980's Colnago Super (masquerading as a Master) are the lightest. With R35 rims, in gloss UD, laced to Carbon Ti hubs, via Sapim CX Ray spokes and alloy nipples, this wheelset came in just under 1,320g, without resorting to flyweight rims. I chose the R35s due to tight frame tyre clearances and because the shallow rim depth, visually suits the narrow steel frame tubes; whilst keeping the overall weight down to 7.9kg (without pedals or cages).

Aladino 2021/08/21

Good evening. I'm very interested to buy a wheelset of R35 Road/CX . However there is two (2) things that I would like to get on them. 1. Red Novatec hubs. I already have several wheelsets with this hub color. 2. A rear wheel with 50mm deep if is possible, obviously with 35mm in the front. I can take care of the other features options during the buying process. Can you make this possible? Please, give me any instructions to be follow to make this process have a happy ending. Thank you very much for your help.

LightBicycle 2021/08/21

Hi Aladino, It is okay to get Novatec red hubs here. Do you like R35 disc or rim brake wheelset? We have R35 front /rear R45 or rear R55. Which do you prefer? You can list the order specs and your delivery address in the email, then we can work on invoice accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I have a Shimano 105 2x10s road bike...I only need a thickness to make wheels compatible right? And there is a shipping method to not pay custom tax? Thank you.

LightBicycle 2021/01/20

Hi Cosimo, Are you also using the Shimano 105 caliper on your bike 700C rim brake? If so, the compatible rim width range is 20.8-28mm. The R35 (17.9mm internal, 25mm outer width, 35mm depth). would be ok to mount on your bike. What would be the shipping address of your order? We do have tax-prepaid delivery available for EU countries and the UK. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello Lightbicycle - Team, i am a heavy biker - 120 kg - and I am looking for a RIM Carbon wheelset. I would like Hubs from White Industries T11 (in red) as Campagnolo. And maybe Sapim RX spokes. 38-45mm depth and 23-25mm are okay. If you ship to Germany do you offer pre paid tax duty ? Thank you for your quote. Cheers, Charles

LightBicycle 2019/08/31

Hi Charles, We can make a reinforced version rim for you since you are a heavy rider. I will get back to you when I have the estimated weight of the reinforced version rim, note that there will be USD8 added to each rim for additional carbon fiber. For non disc wheelset hubs White Industries hubs T11, we only have front 20H/rear 24H in stock here. If you like front 24H/rear 28H hubs, is it Hope RS4 or Novatec hubs okay for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

George 2019/05/05

Are the WRU35C02 wheelsets (or any of the other 25mm width wheelsets) only available from the Global site? Also can this wheelset only be made with the Bitex hub if I want a Campagnolo freehub?

LightBicycle 2019/05/06

Hi George, 1. Our North America warehouse only stock some popular models and configurated product. Mostly MTB rims/wheels. 2. We do have DT SWISS hubs (350/240s) came with the Campagnolo freehub, will this ok with you? The reason why the option is not available online is that we only make the most popular options available so most people don't have to face too many options. The fact is that the Light Bicycle offers a lot of hub options, Bitex, Novatec, DT SWISS, I9, Onyx, Hope, Tune, Carbon Ti, Extralite, White Industries, etc. Which hubs do you prefer for your road wheelset 700C? We can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I'm in the US. Are you able to build a road rim brake clincher wheel set using the RRU55c02-25mm rims, DT 240 front hub, and a power tap G3 rear hub. I would be interested in J-bend CXray spokes and red nipples, no graphics, UD matte finish, brake pads, no valve stem and no rim strips. thanks, mike

LightBicycle 2019/04/15

Hi Michael, yes, we can get power tap G3 hub from our North American warehouse. I have our US team to reach you and make a quotation of RRU35C02 road brake clincher wheelset for your check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

simon 2017/01/12

hi guys, Just enquiring: is the braking surface on the U Shaped rim a high temp resin or a basalt surface of similar rims? I have had previous rims -(others) and they squeal and pulse under braking. Can you cost up a U rim in 35 front, and 50 rear Shimano on Novatec A/F rear, Pillar suitable for 85kg - 28 spoke set up..? thanks Simon

LightBicycle 2017/01/13

Hello Simon, Thanks for your inquiry. Our U-shape rim is with special material and New high TG resin, it will provide better braking surface performance than basalt braking surface. For 50mm depth rim, it is V-shape. We suggest you to try our U-shaped 45mm or 55mm wheels. Please find our quotations as below. All pricing in USD. -U35 front/ U45 rear wheelset (with Novatec A291/F482 SL version 28H hubs): $558/pair -U35 front/ U55 rear wheelset (with Novatec A291/F482 SL version 28H hubs): $566/pair If you would like to place an order, please confirm the full order details (weave, finish, hole count, decal requirements), then I can create the purchasing link for you.

Tommy 2016/10/24

LB, I configure this bike with Bitex hub and total weight is somehow lighter than using DT240s, is that correct? Total weight with Bitex is Weight: 1352.14g /-25. While with DT240s, weight is 1414g. Do you mind posting a screenshot of the actual weight on the scale of both front and back wheel, please? Tommy

Light-Bicycle 2016/10/25

Hello Tommy, Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, Bitex are the lightest hubs we have here. It is much lighter than DT 240S non disc hubs. -Bitex RAF10/ RAR9: 259g/pair -DT 240S J-bend non disc hubs: 320g/pair We can take pictures of the wheelset weight before shipping. Does it work for you? Thanks, Light-bicycle

Tommy 2016/10/25

But are you confident of the listed weight ie. that the final weight won't be far from there? Sorry, I climb mountains a lot so weight is very important for me. Cheers, Tommy

Light-Bicycle 2016/10/26

Hello Tommy, It will be great if you reply us by email directly And once you are ready to order, we will create the purchase link based on the record we discussed. Thank you. Yes, we are sure that the final weight is with a tolerance /-25g, so it won’t be far from there. Any question please feel free to contact us. Thanks, Light-bicycle
