Finish This is a required option.

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

And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start.

Weave This is a required option.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer for cosmetic appearence.

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.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom weaves such as 3k twill vertical/ horizontal/ Braided UD etc with extra charge of $15USD/rim as a start but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture.

Hexa-Comb USD +15

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.

Decal This is a required option.

The new graphics are included and available in 7 colors. The decals are now easily replaceable so you can keep your rims looking fresh.

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.

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

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

The Flyweight rim targeted specifically towards racers who seek every possible edge on the race course. Our goal was to produce the lightest possible rim without sacrificing performance.

Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and countless revisions in each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to produce a strong and stiff gravel rim while dramatically reducing the weight.

Construction: We used a special uni-directional pre-preg with a very low fiber areal weight. This is an exclusive process to our Flyweight rims. To further reduce the weight we used a blend of Toray T700 and T800 specific layups. We opted for a new subtle ultralight waterslide graphic in glossy black with a matte finish overtop in the spirit of keeping these as funny cyclocross cross riding oriented rims.

flyweight-light-bicycle-ar24-disc-brake-carbon-wheels-review

Olaf : i just finished the Bike for mi wife. It is incredibly light and accelerates the very light bike extremely quickly. Especially gravel paths and wading paths with 1.5 bar air pressure are a dream to drive. At the front there is a 2.3 Specialized Fast Track tire and at the rear there is a 2.2 Specialized Renegade. The whole bike only weighs 7.5kg thanks to your super light wheels I am planing the next project, so will write you soon again.

Cris 2020/04/07

What is the highest PSI these rims can take? looking for a set for my road bike

LightBicycle 2020/04/07

Hi Cristian, For AR24 road bike disc rims, the max tire pressure in lab test is 60PSI. How many tire pressure will you use?For hookless, it is better to make sure it is lower than 60PSI while riding. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Steve 2020/12/14

Is the "lab test" a tire-blowoff test to find the limit of the rim profile?

LightBicycle 2020/12/14

Hi Steve, What tire pressure and tire model that you plan to run with AR24 (27mm wide) road disc? The max we recommend to run is 50psi because of the hookless rim bead design. Thanks, Lightbicycle
