I have a 29" hardtail and want to put some 29" x 2.0" slicks on it. The bike is a 2018 Ibis dv9 and has 110/148 boost XD 12 speed. I weigh 55 pounds and would like to ride it 90% on road and 10% pm easy trails. What do you have that would be fast and light and strong? Dan

LightBicycle 2019/06/20

Hi Dan, I think our RM29C06 (27mm wide) 29er cyclocross wheels would be a good fit for your trail bike. You can check it out at https://www.lightbicycle.com/bead-hook-less-rims-carbon-29er-light-bike-rim-tubeless-compatible.html We also have carbon Ti light hubs, that can make the wheelset around 1160g+/-25 for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Cal 2019/06/13

Hi, You indicated that your wheel is manufactured with two parts joined together which you refer to as “duotek”, resulting in fewer joints, therefore fewer points of failure. Would it be possible to make the rim in one piece so that there is no joint? Would a one piece with no joint be a better design than a two piece? Cal

LightBicycle 2019/06/14

Hi Cal, All Light Bicycle rims are made with one-piece layup years ago. Not sure the concept of Duotek is on our site. We did publish an article about one-piece layup. You can check it out at https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/technology-improve-of-light-bicycle-carbon-mtb-650b-rims.html What's more, we separate joints of every layer in a certain order so the rim can as close as it can be to the Isotropic structure. Our Pro series rims are with all-new manufacturing process and method to make the carbon fiber bicycle rim stronger, so if you are after stronger rims, Pro rims would be a good choice. Let me know what more do you like to know about our products, happy to help. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi I’ve just ordered some of your 56 mm road wheels Will you be getting UCI approval for your wheels? Thanks Kevin

LightBicycle 2019/05/02

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your order! For our RR56C02 road disc wheelset, the wind tunnel test result is really good. Please check below for your reference. https://www.hambini.com/blog/post/bicycle-wheel-aerodynamics-which-one-is-fastest/ For road UCI test, it is actually really easy to pass. Almost of all wheels can pass the test. It is really low test standard. It just need a lab test picture here, then UCI will set it approved. We just sent U45 test pictures to UCI and find it is easy to pass. We do not send any other models to get UCI approval any more. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Dear Sirs and Madames, I am interested in the AM728 rims. I weigh 95kg and am unsure if I need the AM or the EN variant, because I want to build the wheels very lightly. How is it with customs clearance and shipping to Germany? what is there to consider? Thanks and Greetings Ingo von Klot

LightBicycle 2019/05/01

Hi Ingo, For your riding, we recommend you to go for front AM728/rear EN728. It is a good combination 650B wheelset. Do you like rims only? Currently, we provide 2 kinds of shipping methods to Germany for 2 rims. TPD delivery: USD89, tax pre-paid duty, don't need to pay customs tax and VAT cost, 7~12 days roughly for delivery EMS delivery: USD50, need to pay Customs fee if necessary. We will also declare the low value to help you reduce the tax cost, 7~12 days roughly for delivery. Thanks, Lightbicycle

alan 2019/04/29

I have several LB rims in service already and I love them. I'm building a PowerTap rear wheel and would like to be able to swap it between disc and cantilever bikes for training. Can I order RR36C02, RG922 or WR38 with a braking surface? Would this surface require a special friction material? On your website, these 3 rims are available as 24H and 28H. Can I order 32H? Thanks Alan

LightBicycle 2019/04/30

Hi Alan, We can make a non-disc version of RR36C02 & RG922. WR38 non-disc version is currently not available. What kind of riding do you plan to do with the new road wheels? What would the tire width be? I can make some recommendations for you if you like. And it is okay to order 32H for road non disc rims. Don't worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Kaspars 2019/04/29

Hello! Please, help me choose a rim between EN932 and AM935 with following considerations: - I weight 105-108kg; - I ride a hardtail Trail bike; - I ride XC marathon races and XCO cross races with 3-5m long easy jumps, but no enduro/DH; - I would primarily use 29x2.6" tires, sometimes maybe 29x2.8"; - our trails are sandy, loamy and rooty, we don't have rocks on our trails, only some XCO tracks have short and easy handmade rockgardens. To summarize, I'm heavy, ride quite aggressive in easy trails and jumps, and need strong but light rims for amateur competitions. I would like get rims with no nipple holes to be used without tubeless tape, can you do this for those rims? How much is the delivery to Latvia (LV-1050) with TPD? Are you absolutely sure no tax payment will be asked for importing in EU? Best regards, Kaspars

LightBicycle 2019/04/30

Hi Kaspars, 1. Yes, we can make UST(no spoke access hole drilling hole on the rim bed) 29er enduro rims for you. 2. The TPD is tax included yes. But sorry to tell you that Latvia is not covered by TPD routes. Or can you pick up the package from other EU countries that available for TPD? Estonia maybe? Let me know if it's doable for you. If so, pls provide the address information so I can create the invoice for you as TPD is not available online currently. However, we can ship the rims by EMS, and lower the declared value on the customs documents, will this work for you? Usually, we put USD110 for two rims. 3. EN932 is the strongest rim we now offer online. It's only 500g+/-15. Very light for a strong rim like this. Or you can go with AM935 since you don't do any DH. Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2019/04/26

Hi Graham, For rim depth information, you can see it on the rim specs or rim drawing. Please find as below. For lead time, we have to check which road disc rims/wheels you like. If we have them in stock, we can ship out in 3 days. If not, it takes around 12 days for manufacturing. The delivery takes another 7~12 days to arrive by EMS for TPD delivery. For TPD delivery, it is tax/VAT included. You will not have to deal with customs. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I'm interested in a partial wheelset - a rear, build wheel using a WR46CO2 with an onyx hub, sapim CXray spokes. I'll have the front wheel built locally, since I want a dynohub (shutter PDX-8) - if you can build the front wheel, that would be great, but otherwise, can you ship just the rim? I weigh between 65 and 70kg, will use this wheelset for road and gravel with 45-55 tires, was going to go 24 front/rear - what do you think? Can you price it for me? Thanks!

LightBicycle 2019/04/24

Hello, I am living in the USA and am wondering if it is better to order from the "North America" buying option, rather than the "global", as... we are at war (I hope you understand my humor!, American humor is strange, I know). But seriously, I am concerned that because of the current political situation, it might be better to purchase from the North America option, can you advise? My friend has purchased many of your products, and speaks very highly of them. Sincerely, Colin P. Rooney

LightBicycle 2019/04/23

Hi Colin, You don't have to worry about the trade policy between our countries. It won't really affect our orders. Currently, the shipping remains the same condition as usual. Takes about 7~10 days for delivery, USD50 for two rims, USD78 for one wheelset. We usually declare the items with a lower value so you can pay less or none tax. Normally we put USD110 for 2 bike rims, USD220 for one bikewheelset. On the other hand, you can purchase the items from our North American warehouse, but we only have an inventory of popular specs. What is great with NA warehouse is that you can get the rims/wheels (if in stock) quicker and with tax covered. But note that the price will be different from Global even for the same item.

Hi. Sorry not for orders. I have wheel of Giant and have problem on brake surface. If I send you, then can you make brake surface? Thanks.

LightBicycle 2019/04/15

Hi Han, Brake surface was added to the rim before molding and mold with the rim. So you cannot only change the brake surface. Sorry to tell you that. If your wheel still in the warranty period, you can reach out to Gaint for warranty. If your warranty is due, maybe you can find something close to the rim you have from our product collections as a replacement. Our carbon road rim brake surface is very durable, we have two options for you to choose from The High TG brake surface and the grooved Graphene surface . Let me know if you are interested. Our carbon fiber bike rims are with fair price. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi. I was trying to price up a set of wheels on your website. I was interested in Carbon RRU45 C02 23mm wheels , Non Disk, with DT 350 hubs.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of carbon wheels for my gravel bike later this year. While I like your website and selecting a wheel build is easy to do, you should think about adding a "gravel bike" category in the "shop" menu. For example, I would like to build up a set of carbon wheels in 11 sp Shimano road configuration, but with wider 29er rims - but the rims are only offered in the MTB menu.

LightBicycle 2019/04/13

Hi Neil, We do have rims/wheels for gravel bikes, but we put it under the road bike category currently. We would consider your suggestion very carefully. Thank you for the feedback. Some of our customers do use the XC925 and RM29C06 as their gravel bike wheels. But we do also have some wider road rims for gravel rims. RR56C02 road gravel bike wheels for instance, it's with 30mm wide, 56mm deep. We also plan to launch a new series of road rims in May (the Falcon Pro) with a wider profile and new technology applied. You can check out the new rims later on. Attaching with rim profiles for your ref. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, when ordering 1 pair of road wheelset - there is just EMS offered. Where will be this shipped from? Inside EU or Outside EU when my delivery address is Czech Republic? If this is from outside, do you also offer XDB Shipping where there are not customs and taxes? Regards, Jirka

LightBicycle 2019/04/17

Jirka, Yes, XDB delivery to the Czech Republic is available. The delivery cost would be USD155 for one wheelset. Would you mind tell me the exact specs of the wheelset. Do you like road 700C wheelset or mountain wheels? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I purchased these rims: http://www.light-bicycle.com/Hookless-carbon-650B-mtb-35mm-wide-AM-27-5-rims-tubeless-compatible.html in November 2014 and I have loved them! Unfortunately, my rear rim cracked near the valve stem. I'd like to replace it with an EN728 rim. I don't expect you to simply replace the rim, but can you offer any kind discount? The alternative rim I'm considering is the DT Swiss XM481, which is on-sale for <$100 shipped, making it a difficult decision. Thanks!

LightBicycle 2019/04/10

Hi Jeff, Yes, we can offer you a discount for your replacement 27.5 bike rim EN728. I understand that you are bouncing between our carbon rim EN728 and aluminum rim 1. Carbon rims are usually more durable and stiff than aluminum rims. 2. We extended our standard warranty from 1 year to 3 years now. 3. Light Bicycle offers excellent after-sell service for every individual customer, big brands more intended to put their focus on product development or team customers. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, Is the WRU55C02 an updated version of the WR56C02? Is teh WRU55C02 stocked in the North America warehouse? Because I am located in Canada, it seems easier for shipping. Also how do I specify it to be built with the Grooved Graphene Surface? Thanks, Sam

LightBicycle 2019/04/06

Hi Sam, For RRU55C02, it is 25mm wide/55mm deep, aero shape. For RR56C02, it is 30mm wide/56mm deep, it is more gravel optimized aero shape. This rim is wide, you have to make sure that your caliper is wide enough. For our North America warehouse, there only are disc version there. If you like rims with graphene brake surface, you have to order from global warehouse here. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Onyx has recently announced their brand new MTB hubs and will be taking pre-orders in the next week or two. I spoke with them and they said pre-orders will also be available to you at Light Bicycle at the same time and to contact you directly. I would like to pre order/order new wheels built up from you with the new Onyx hubs. Really hoping to get on this order ASAP as I know they will be in high demand and want to make sure my order is one of the earliest ones fulfilled when the hubs go into production. How would I go about doing this? I am in California and would be ordering from the North America division and have a pretty solid idea of the configuration I want. Please advise. Thanks, -Bo

Andy 2019/03/26

For your Recon PRO 29er rim, you state the ERD is 594mm (not including nipple head dimension). Does that mean the diameter of the inside of the rim without drilliing? If I used a traditional external nipple would the ERD be about 4 mm more? Thanks, Andy

LightBicycle 2019/03/28

Hi Andy, You can check out below sketch to get a better idea about our ERD calculation. Here's an example for ERD calculation: The rim ERD is 583mm not including nipple head dimension. It is 633- 28*2(rim depth)+2*3mm(spoke hole wall thickness)= 583mm. And you are right, if you are using traditional way to calculate the ERD, you will have to add 4mm to it. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I currently live in Houston in United States and I'm considering to purchase a set of light bicycle rims. If I purchase, I would like to ship to South Korea where my family lives. Because of South Korean custom issues, I was wondering if you can do me a little favor of marking the value of rimset little bit lower of $170(tax is charged on all products over usd $180) which is originally about $330. Hope to hear your positive respond with my situation. Thank you!

LightBicycle 2019/03/26

Hi Jason, We certainly can help you with declaring bike rims at lower value . We usually put USD110 for two rims. I think it will meet your needs perfectly. You can leave the request to the message box when you checkout. Or I can create the invoice for you if you like. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, When ordering from USA, are the wheelsets subject to US import tariffs? Thanks. Jeff

Hi Jeff, Here's what you need to know about shipping from our North America warehouse. 1. The warehouse located in the border between US and Canda. Technically in Canada. 2. The price for North America items is tax/brokage fees included. 3. North America warehouse only stock the popular items with standard specs. What item are you interested in? 4. If the bicycle rims/wheelset you want is not available in NA warehouse, you can order it from our Global warehouse. What we usually do to make our customers pay less tax/tariff is to lower the declared value on the customs documentation. USD220/wheelset and USD110 for two rims. Will this work for you?

Alex 2019/03/18

Hi there! I'm really really excited about buying a Light Bicycle wheelset but I'm stuck on which rims to go with! I am aggressive 70kg rider and do a mix of all mountain and enduro. I will definitely go for the DT 240s straight pull hubs with 54t ratchet, and for reference I am currently running 30mm internal aluminium rims with 2.5" tyres. I am currently choosing between the Recon EN728 and Recon RM650BC05HD. It looks like the weight on these is the same (454g vs 455g) but according to the rim comparison page the EN728 is the same impact strength but much stiffer (13.5 side, 10.7 vert vs 12.2 side, 7.8 vert). Is this analysis correct? I am happy to go with the 28mm internal rim if it is stiffer. Total wheelset weight and price are very similar so I am just looking to get the best result! It also looks like the EN728 is in stock currently so it would be great to take advantage of the very short lead time. Thank you very much for any help.

LightBicycle 2019/03/18

Hi Alex, Yes, our comparison figures were scale relatively according to our lab testing data. The EN728 is more stiff. Actually, we have only last two EN728 650B rims in stock, they are with UD, matte, 32H. Are the specs ok with you? I can reserve the rims for you in case it sold to others. Their weights are 454g and 462g. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, I'd like to buy one wheelset. Is Tax-Prepaid delivery to Germany possible and can you assure I wont have to pay any taxes then? What is the shipping cost with TPD? And could you please send me a picture of the following rim (or a similar one) with white and with stealth decals: WRU45C02. Thank you in advance.

LightBicycle 2019/02/19

Hi Fritz, 1. Yes, we can ship to Germany by TPD (Tax-Prepaid Delivery). The tax is already included to the shipping cost, so yes, you don't have to pay for the import tax on your side. The shipping cost would be USD156 for one wheelset to Germany. Let me know the rims/wheelset that you want to order so I can create an invoice for you considering the TPD is not available online currently. 2. We sent photos for WRU45C02 with stealth and white decal for your reference. It is sent to your email. Please check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Fuad 2019/02/18

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a WR46C02 wheelset. I understand this rim is designed for disk brakes but is it ok/safe to build it with rim brakes? If it is, do you recommend the graphene or high TG resin brake surface? Also, do you still provide sapim double square or dt swiss SQUORX nipples as on option?

LightBicycle 2019/02/19

Hi Fuad, Yes, we do have WR46C02 road wheelset with rim brake track. At global ship, When you choose hubs with front 100mm*QR/ rear 130mm*QR, these are non disc hubs, and the rims will be with rim brake track surface. 1. Below is the difference between the two brake track for your reference. I would recommend the Grooved Graphene surface for it's better braking performance. 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. 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. 2. Yes, we do still provide Sapim Dboule square nipples and DT Squorx nipples. I can mark your request to the order if you like. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Brian 2019/02/15

Quick wheelset question. I'm looking at the 29" EN932 vs EN933 rim. EN932 is listed at 500g and the EN933 is listed at 510g. Complete Wheelset Build: -Hope Hubs (boost front and rear. XD driver) -Sapim D Light Spokes I've "built" the wheelsets using identical builds (hub and spoke choice) using both the EN933 and EN932 rims. My issue is this: With EN932 the wheelset comes in at 1755g With EN933 the wheelset comes in at 1835g How can there be such a difference if the only thing changed out is the rim? The rims are listed as only having a 10g difference between them. Should be a 20g difference, not a 80g difference. So, which do you think is the accurate measurement? Trying to decide between the two wheelsets, but I don't want the weight to sway me towards the EN932 if one of those measurements isn't accurate. If I'm a 205lb, aggressive rider, is it worth the extra $242 to go with the EN932 build or is the EN933 more than up to the task? I'm using CushCore, so I'm not too worried about rim strikes. Thank you for any info you can give me on this. Brian

LightBicycle 2019/02/15

Hi Brian, EN932 29er wheelset is just released on website and thank you for you help to find out the weight problem. We just have our website administrator to work on the caculator and solve the problem ASAP. AM933/EN933 wheelset weight is correct. For EN932 wheelset, it is just 20g lighter than EN933 wheelset. Sorry for the confusion. For recon and recon pro difference, you can check on below link. Recon rims are with new technologies, more duralbe and longer warranty service. https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/differences-briefings-for-recon-pro---recon.html Thanks, Lightbicycle

Are the new style LB vinyl rim decals available for sale? I only see the old style decals available for sale on the website. Thank you, Joseph

Angus 2019/02/06

Hi, I am interested in getting a quote for a 700C carbon clincher wheelset (non disc brake). I had a couple of questions. 1. I was interested in getting a deeper back wheel (46-56mm) and a smaller front (30-36mm). Do you do this and if so which wheels would you normally suggest? 2. I cannot seem to locate the specs for my bikes front and rear axle (it is a Giant TCR advanced 2012/2013 - non disc brake)). Which skewers do I need? 3. The bike does not have disc brakes but the form on your website seems to require me to select either 6 bolt or centerlock. Something seems to have gone wrong! 4. Vale stems - do I need to buy more - presumably enough come with the wheelset? 5. Do you have any further photos of the white/stealth decals on the deep wheel sets. I could only see a couple of photos. 6. I will need shipping to the UAE (Dubai). Is this included in the price? 7. Do you have insurance on the shipping process of the wheels? Kind regards Angus

LightBicycle 2019/02/07

Hi Angus, Thanks for your inquiry! Please find our reply as below. 1. Yes, it is okay to build front RR36C02(28mm wide/36mm deep)/ rear RR46C02(28mm wide/46mm deep). This combination is really popular. May i know your tire width? Then we can check whether there is better wheelset for you. What hubs do you like for your wheelset? DT Swiss 240s or 350? 2. For non disc, the skewers size are front 100mm* QR/ rear 130mm*QR, shimano road 11S 3. I think you pick "disc" version hubs. For non disc, there is no 6-bolt or center lock option. Please choose non disc, front 100mm* QR/ rear 130mm*QR specs for your wheelset. 4. For valve stems, you have to buy two for wheelset. It does not come with wheelset normally, it is not free. So, you just need to buy 2pcs. Then it is enough. 5. Yes, we have white/stealth pictures for road wheels. Please as below for your reference. We are not in office, so can only find pictures on website for your check. When we are back to work on Feb 12th, we can email you more pictures if you like. white decal on rim: https://www.lightbicycle.com/Road-bicycle-rims-30mm-wide-56mm-deep-aero-clincher-road-disc-brake-available.html stealth decal on rim: https://www.lightbicycle.com/Road-bicycle-rims-28mm-wide-46mm-deep-aero-clincher-road-disc-brake-available.html 6. The wheelset price does not include shipping cost. The shipping cost is USD134 for one wheelset to UAE by EMS delivery, and it is USD197 by DHL delivery. DHL is much faster. 7. For shipping, it is under insurance. If the package is lost or get damage during shipping, we can arrange new shipping for you. Don't worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2019/01/02

Hi Vincent, As you know, LB rims are all handmade, so there's a tolerance weight range to every rim. But we will do our best to make the non-disc RRU45C02 (45mm deep) under 475g. Will this be ok with you? And also, for road bike rims with brake surface, it is not very good to make the rim weight too light. It will affect the braking performance. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Peter 2018/09/24

Hello, I am looking for a price for 2x RR56C02 shipped to the Netherlands. Is it possible more me to build them with DT-Swiss Alpine III spokes? They are 2.0/1.8/2.34 and I will be ordering a 20h front rim and 24h rear rim. These are for track wheels so no braking forces (except pedaling backwards) and I'm trying to build as stiff as possible. I think I had read one of your comments that there will be deeper versions of this model soon. Will it be before end of 2018 and do you know which depths will be offered? Also with the 23 internal width is it possible to use Continental 4000s ii in 23mm or 25mm because they end up being much larger than their stated sizes. On narrower rims the 23's become around 25mm and the 25's around 28mm. I am also debating custom graphics. I can provide the vector image files to use and it will just be 1 colour. Do you still do the permanent graphics under the clear coat? I don't want vinyl. Please let me know the cost with and without. Thank you Peter

LightBicycle 2018/09/25

Hi, Peter 1. Sorry that we cannot purchase the spokes you ask for (DT-Swiss Alpine III ).Most people use bladed spokes for the aerodynamics. Would you care to share the reason why you want to use the DT Alpine III spokes in particular? If you prefer round spokes, we do provide DT Swiss spokes like DT competition race and DT competition spokes. Will these spokes work for you? We can discuss more by mail. 2. The measurements of our rims are quite accurate. the mold tolerance must around +/-0.15mm, tolerance for complete rims is +/-0.2mm. Else the rim won't pass the QC. So if you buy a 23mm wide rims, you will get a 23mm rim with a limited tolerance. You can come back to us if the width is out of the range. 3. Yes, we still make custom waterslide decals for our customers. It's about USD78 for one or two colors. Do you mind to send me the sketch so I can quote accordingly? 4. We don't have the plan to make a deeper version rim for RR56C02 (30mm wide, 56mm deep) yet. Do you have any suggestion on this? Would you care to share with us so we can see if it's dorable? Thanks Lightbicycle

Hello, I really like the new compare button, but what is the difference between AM and Enduro?

LightBicycle 2018/09/19

Hi, Lance Glad to hear that you like our new changes. Regarding your inquiry about the difference between the AM version and EN version. The main difference between AM and EN is that enduro version is with some more carbon fiber material added, it will be stronger for big riders or who rides aggressively. Which rims are you interested in? If you don't have anything in mind yet. Maybe we can make some recommendations for you if you like. First of all, I need to learn more about your riding to know what rims/wheels are good for you. We can discuss further etails by mail. 1. Are you an aggressive rider or heavy rider? If so, the enduro version (or Heavy Duty in some models' case) will be a better fit for you. 2. What tire width you use? 3. What is the terrain you mostly ride on? Thanks Lightbicycle
