(1) Are the products available in North America?

When you see two options on the 'BUYING OPTIONS' product page, it means this particular item is available in both the Global & North American warehouses. If you only see one warehouse option listed, this item is only available in that listed warehouse.

(2) Which hubs are available where?

-- Global offers Novatec, Hope, DT SWISS, Tune, Bitex, Extralite, and Carbon Ti. Contact us if your desired hub is not listed.

GST/HST

We are responsible for collecting and remitting tax on behalf of Canadians who purchase from our North American warehouse (located in Canada). We charge the appropriate tax rate for your respective Province/Territory.

Lead Time

(1) Global orders

The product availability can be viewed on the "Overview" of the buying option area. If the item is in stock it will typically ship within two business days. Not in stock items typically require 1~2 weeks to ship. Fat bike rims and wheelsets may take longer.

(2) North American orders

Items that are not wheelsets typically ship within 1~2 business days. If hubs are in stock, a wheelset typically ships in 2~3 business days. Special order or out of stock hubs will take longer. Keep in mind that all of our wheelsets are customized to your selections, often requiring additional build time. If you need a product quickly, please contact us to confirm the availability of your desired hub color or leave us a note when checking out.

Shipping Options

(1) Global orders

Currently, the only available shipment method online is EMS. Usually, it will take 7~10 days to arrive worldwide. Please contact us if your country is not listed or you want to ship with other shipment methods (DHL, Tax-Prepaid Delivery, etc.). Learn more details of those shipping options under the Delivery Methods page.

(2) North American orders

We ship to most locations with UPS, and the level of shipping service can be selected required at checkout.

Do Inspect the Package When you Sign.

1. When you receive a package, it is best to open it up and check for damage before signing for it. Inspect the rims/wheels carefully for damage, especially if the box looks like it has been handled roughly during transit. If there is no damage, then it is okay to sign for the product. However, if there is damaged you need to report this on the delivery slip. Alternatively, refuse the shipment and it will be returned back to Light Bicycle. Light Bicycle will re-arrange shipment within 10 business days after receiving the returned package. If you sign for the package and do not report any damage then there is no recourse we can have against the delivery company and, unfortunately, you would be responsible for purchasing any replacement product.

2. If you did not inspect the product upon receipt but the product was significantly damaged, please contact us within 7 days after signing and keep the original waybill, packing boxes etc. The return request needs to be made by the customer. The shipping company will provide customer compensation number. Please inform us of the compensation number for delivery tracking.

Baisampayan 2019/09/27

Hi, I am looking to buy 25mm wide 50mm deep carbon wheelset. Do you ship to India? If so, can it be done via TPD? How much tax do I have to pay as duty? If not do you have any idea how much customs I would have to pay while getting the items from customs. Alternately, you can also ship it to Munich and I can get it from there also. How much custom tax do I have to pay for shipping it to Munich? Thanks. Baisam

LightBicycle 2019/09/28

Hi Baisam, Yes, it is okay to ship road 25mm wide wheelset to India by EMS or DHL delivery. But the tax does not include. We just sent you a quotation through email. Please check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, I am trying to see about getting a 26er Item No. RM26C02, with 36H hole count, Matte finish, weave UD, no decal, no valve stem, no tubless tape. I live in the USA, in California. Is this item available from a North American warehouse? If not, how long would it take to get to California if I ordered one tomorrow. Thank you.

LightBicycle 2019/08/28

Hi Steven, Sorry that we don't have the rim you want (RM26C02, 23mm inner/30mm outer width, UD, matte, 36H) 26er bike rim in stock, Global or the North American warehouse. 36H is not a common request rim spoke count. The rim will be arranged for manufacturing when you order is in place, the manufacturing process will take 12 days, and another 7~10 days for shipping and delivery to your door. Will this be ok with you? Thanks, Lightbicycle
