Disc: The disc hub has optional 6-bolt or center lock version.The matched disc rim does not have a 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.

Non Disc(Rim brake): By default, the rim brake 700C road rims come with an advanced High TG surface whose braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.

Our newest Grooved Graphene Surface is ready now. The price is $30 added for each rim. If you would like to update with newest brake tracks, please contact us at sales@lightbicycle.com.

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 single 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.

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 1-2 weeks LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start.

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.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole help evacuate the water trapped inside the rim, using the centrifugal force of rolling wheels.

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

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.

If you want custom graphic, Please email us, we will design for you. There will be extra cost for custom graphic on rims.

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.
Link to tubeless valve instructions

None

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

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.

Add Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Brake Pads This is a required option.

By default, Shimano type is offered only (Contact us if you want Campagnolo type). 4 pads will be included. These high performance brake pads are designed for carbon bike rims only and offer excellent stopping power even in the wet.

Add Shimano-type Brake Pads USD +10

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

Les: Excellent wheel set. Quick shipping. When I took them out of the box I was amazed at the quality of the build. Used the Bitex hub configuration and they spin forever. I can definitely notice an increase in speed over my stock wheels.

ritchey-logic-road-bike-on-light-bicycle-mixed-depth-carbon-wheels

Emacdo: Bought a set of 35MM and 45MM rim brake rims and built them up over the winter with a pair of Campy Electron hubs (completely rebuilt). The 35/45 configuration is a great all-rounder setup - climber in the front, aero in the back. They were fantastically easy to lace up due to their very tight construction tolerances. Finally have been able to take them on a couple of shorter rides in the last couple weeks (now that Spring is here where I live) and they were fabulous. Rode 90+ miles today on chip seal and washboard roads and the rims handled really well. These are now my favorite wheels. I can't say as much about the Conti 5k tires, but that has nothing to do with the rims (switching to a set of Vittoria Corsas after today's ride). The roads around here are passable at best, so I have done my best to beat these rims around and they have responded perfectly. I can't wait to put many more miles on them.

Hi! Is is possible to have just the valve stem logo decal and not the larger decals on the wheels? I am looking at purchasing either the AR 46 or R 45 wheelset. Also, is it possible to get either of these rim brake wheelsets with DT 240 hubs? Thank you and enjoy your day! :)

LightBicycle 2020/10/02

Hi Mike, Thanks for your inquiry!Yes, it is okay to have only valve logo on rims/wheels. When you place the order, you can leave a message on the order that "only valve logo please". Then we can see it and will double check with you after receiving your order, to make sure everything is correct. Also, we can take wheelset pictures for your check before shipping.

Hi, I was wondering why none of the wheels have the "North American Warehouse" option, can only see the "Global Options"

LightBicycle 2020/05/04

Hi Sir, We only have disc road rims stock in the America warehouse at the moment. Is there any reason that you prefer the h America warehouse? You can get all configurations from the Global warehouse as well. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello Nacy, I have a set of your road wheels bought in 2018 and I Love them. I’am thinking of another set of your wheels for my other bike. Do you send wheelset to Mazatlan, Mexico. If so what is the cost? Thank you Darrell Moquist

Hi, I'm looking for a new wheelset and I have a few questions about your return/warranty policy: - If I buy your product, and I am not satisfied with it, can I send the wheelset back and get a guaranteed refund? - If I crash my wheelset that I purchase from you, can I return it and get a discount on a replacement set of wheels? Thanks

LightBicycle 2019/06/17

Hi Seth, 1. Yes, just send back the product in good condition for a refund if the wheelset is new(without riding). 2. A crash replacement with very good discount works well there in common practice. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I usually run 25mm tyres. Will this pair of wheels be suitable or should I get the 28mm outer width wheels for better aero dynamics?

LightBicycle 2019/04/22

Hi Jonathan, I am Nancy from Lightbicycle. We talked online on weekends. I know your ride 25mm tires. From our research and test, the rim width has to be slightly wider than tire width. Then it has better aerodynamics. So, we recommend you to go for RR46C02(28mm wide/46mm deep) rims/wheels. Do you like 700C complete road wheelset or just rims only? We can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicyle

Peter 2019/03/26

Am around 76kg, on carbon rim brake frame, basically riding relatively on flat road for speed. Sometimes, i do like to go for a climb but the gradient we have here is only 11% max and is just around 200m only. Am not sure does it justify for my below requirement or you have better suggestion. Which wheelset do you recommend? WRU45C02 or WR46C02 Can i go for spokes of 16 front, 20 rear? Possible to request without inner spoke holes?

LightBicycle 2019/03/26

Hi Peter, 1. Yes, we can make UST road wheels without spoke access holes on rim bed for you like the attachment. 2. Is it windy at where you ride? What about crosswinds? The WR45C02 provide better aerodynamics in no wind and lighter, the WR46C02 on the other hand with rounded "second" leading edge allows for more attached airflow, which reduces drags and increases balancing side force. You are a light rider and riding not aggressive, both wheelsets work well for you. 3. Do you have any specific hub(Front 16H, rear 20H) that you like to build the wheelset with? Power way R13 hub red okay for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jason 2019/03/20

Keen on these wheels, however I would like to confirm details for a disc brake build. https://www.lightbicycle.com/U-shape-45mm-depth-Hand-built-700C-carbon-25mm-wide-clincher-road-bicycle-wheels-for-tubeless-compatible.html Wanting straight pull hubs as well, aero spokes, clincher. 12mm through axle, 100mm front, 142mm I see also you say 0 offset (symetrical), I assume this is for a rim build, and a disc build will be Asymetrical, yes? Cost and delivery to Australia?

LightBicycle 2019/03/20

Hi Jason, Thanks for your inquiry! For RRU45C02 rims, the rim profile is designed as symmetrical. We do not have asymmetrical for road rims yet. For road rims, asymmetrical rim profile will affect the aerodynamics. So, normally most brands do not manufacture road rear rim with asymmetrial. Please find our quotation as below. It is USD681.40/pair. - Rims: RRU45C02, UD matte, 24H, disc - Hubs: black DT Swiss 350 road disc, front 12*100mm/rear 12*142mm, straight pull, centerlock, shimano road 11S, 18T - Spokes: black sapim cx-ray bladed straight pull - Nipples: black aluminum If it is with DT Swiss 240S road disc hubs, it is USD859.40/pair. The delivery cost is USD58 for one wheelset to Australia by EMS delivery. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, Do you ship to Turkey? If so, are there any payment methods other than PayPal? Because PayPal doesn’t operate where i’m from.

LightBicycle 2019/03/04

Hi Batu, Yes, we can ship to Turkey. The shipping cost would be USD116.5 for one bicycle wheelset by EMS delivery. For payment method, we normlly accept paypal, bank transfer or western union. Which do you prefer? Thanks, Lightbicycle
