Jeremy 2016/10/31

Hi i just bought a pair of LB AM 40mm rim from my local guys (AGS MTB), i'm lacing it to Chris King ISO hub. Whats the spoke length for 2x lacing? thank you.

Light-Bicycle 2016/10/31

Hello Jeremy, Thanks for your support! Due to the complexity and variations with calculating spoke lengths, we cannot guarantee the spokes will be the perfect length for your wheels.It will be great if you confirm the spokes length with your own builders. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Good Afternoon, I kindly ask if it's possible to buy rims, spoke and nipples. I have a pair of dt 240 hub 32 holes (not straightpull), so my idea Is to buy rims, spoke and nipples and assemble myself. Could you give me an idea of the total amount of the order? kind regards

Light-Bicycle 2016/06/12

Hello Stefano, Sorry for the late reply. We were on the vacation in last 3 days (Dragon Boat Festival). It is okay to buy the rims/ spokes/ nipples to build the wheels by yourself. Which spokes and nipples do you like? We can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hi, I just ordered 2 of the EN733 rims. I will be building them with Hope evo 4 boost hubs. Can you tell me the spoke length for lacing these wheels. Thanks, Stephen

Light-Bicycle 2016/06/01

Hello Stephen, Thanks for your support. The rims you ordered are AM733. I double checked with our builder, and we will use below spoke length for AM733 wheelset built with Hope pro4 boost 32H hubs. -Lacing pattern: 3 cross for front and rear -Front: 261mm-drive side, 259mm-non drive side -Rear: 259mm-drive side, 261mm-non drive side Thanks, Light-bicycle

Adrien 2016/03/09

Hi, Are the spokes holes asymmetricaly drilled ? Is it possible to order theses rims without internal drilling like mavic's UST rims ? Thank you, Adrien

Light-Bicycle 2016/03/10

Hello Adrien, Thanks for your inquiry. These rims can not be drilled with UST version. Because it is not deep enough for nipples to go through inside while building wheelset. Our 34mm width asymmetrical rim can do UST if you like. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mark 2015/03/02

Hi there, I'm interested in the 650B XC, rim, can you explain what 3K and 12K is, does it relate to strength or lay up of the material? Also what spoke nipples do you recommend for the build. Regards Mark

Light-Bicycle 2015/03/03

Hello Mark, Thanks for your inquiry. For 3k/12k/UD, it is the outer carbon fiber layer to make the carbon fiber with different outlook, and all the inside carbon fiber are the same. So, the rim strength & weight is almost the same. 3k matte &UD matte are more popular. Which do you prefer? Please find attached pictures. Currently, we also have new hookless 27mm wide 650B XC rim. It is much lighter. Do you like it? Please find attached rim cross-section drawing. RM650BC02 (30mm wide 650B XC rim) hookless: 370 /-15g, USD163/pcs RM650BC09 (27mm wide 650B XC rim) hookless: 320 /-15g, USD163/pcs Thanks, Light-bicycle

For 650b rims: Are the spoke holes offset? Do you have a dwg. Also, which side is the first hole after the stem hole? Does it look like this when looking from inside the rim (x=spoke hole, O =stem hole) X O X Thanks

Light-Bicycle 2015/03/01

Hello Thomas, Thanks for your inquiry. We can do nipple holes with angle, is it what you like? Please find attached pictures. And if you like to see the first hole after valve hole, you can see the wheelset picture. And let us know if there is any question. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Light-Bicycle 2015/02/10

Hello Kai, Thanks for your inquiry. The max weight limit of 30mm wide 650 rim is 120kg. We only can added some carbon fibers to enhance the rim strength. We’d like to recommend hookless 35mm wide/ 38mm wide 650B rims. It is much wider and stronger. Do you like it?

Hi, Is it possible to make a 20-30g lighter version of this rim. I would like a standard 370g on the back and a lighter version for the front. I know there is the 22mm inner width lighter rim but would prefer to have both rims with 24mm. Thanks

Light-Bicycle 2015/01/27

Hello Sean, Thanks for your inquiry. The 30mm wide 650B rim weight is around 370 /-15g. We can pick up the light rim for front (weight under 365g). And the rear rim is around 360g-370g. Is that ok for you? RM650BC02 (30mm wide 650B rim) hookless: USD163/pcs Please find attached rim cross-section drawing. For rim weave, do you prefer 3k, 12k or UD? Matte or glossy? 32H?
