Azfar 2022/01/14

Hi, I'm using a Cannondale Caad13 and would like to buy the FALCON WHEELSET AR46 DISC 700C Gravel-Optimized-Aero-Shape 46mm depth hand-built carbon road disc wheels - 28mm wide and tubeless compatible. For the rear wheel dishing pattern, which one should I choose? Traditional or Ai offset? If Ai offset is it the 3mm or the 6mm? Kindly advise. Appreciate your help. Thanks

LightBicycle 2022/01/15

Hi Azfar, I checked on the bike specs, there is no offset on frame at all. So, you can choost traditional wheel building. Or you can double check with your bike supplier or call Cannondale to make sure it is correct. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Elia 2022/01/13

hello I'm interested in your wheels but I have a few questions: 1- if I purcase from Italy and I choose TPD payments, it's sure will I not pay any extra money? 2- In the hubs ARC MT-032, is the freehub connected with pawls or ratched system like DT SWISS? 3- Probably I will buy falcon wr35 model, I'm 70 kg and I will use the wheels mainly for cyclocross and gravel. Is it safe to go with flyweight version or the standard will be better?

LightBicycle 2022/01/13

Hi Elia, Please find our reply as below. 1. Yes, if you choose TPD delivery, you will not have to pay any extra cost(like taxes or duties). It is all included. 2. The ARC hubs we get are with the standard pawls, not ratches system. If you like ratches system, you can go for DT Swiss hubs. 3. Do you ride jently or aggressively? For WR35 32mm wide wheelset with standard version, they are with much more carbon fiber material, they will be more durable. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Harrison 2021/12/22

Hello! Just received my rims and they are gorgeous! I purchased the AR56 - 28mm rims and am having trouble calculating the spoke length needed for the rear. Help would be greatly appreciated! Rim = AR56-28mm /w 24 spoke holes Axle width = 130mm L/R center to flange = 41mm, 16.5mm L/R flange diameter = 55mm, 55mm spoke hole diameter = 2mm paired spoke holes 15 degree angle J-bend spokes w/ 14mm standard alloy nipples

LightBicycle 2021/12/22

Hi Harrison, We are happy to hear that you like our AR56 road disc rims 700C. We can calculate the \spoke length for you. I will send you the spoke lengths through email. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Steve 2021/11/04

I’m 72kg and interested in the FALCON PRO AR35 disc rim. Is the featherweight ok for me? How about with 24-hole drilling or is 28-hooe recommended? Thanks!

LightBicycle 2021/11/04

Hi Steve, For your weight 72KG, it is okay to ride flyweight version AR35 road disc rim 700C. Do you ride aggressively or gently? Normally 24H is strong enough. But if you like wheelset to be more stiff and do not mind the wheelset weight, it is okay to get front 24H/rear 28H. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Neil 2021/09/15

Hi, I've been using one of your rims for 2-3 years it's bombproof thank you! I've just got a new bike can you supply a 'Mullet' wheelset? ie 29er front 27.5 rear wheel. I know the world is crazy at the moment so no desperate rush. Cheers Neil

LightBicycle 2021/09/15

Hi Neil, I am so happy to hear that you are satisfied with the previous rims. It is okay to order a mixed mtb wheelset(front 29er/rear 27.5). You can list the order specs here, we can quote accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Do you offer road wheels with campagnolo body?

LightBicycle 2021/09/06

Hi Teun, Yes, we do have hubs that featured with the campy freehub body for road wheels 700C. What hubs do you want to build with? disc or rim brake? Please let me know the model so I can check the inventory and availability accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Andre 2021/08/26

Where do I find the serial# on my wheelset?

LightBicycle 2021/08/27

Hi Andre, The serial number is located on the carbon bike rim channel. You can see it when you remove the tire and tape. It's a bar code with a serial number on it. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Juko 2021/05/07

Hello, I'm considering this wheelset, 700c Falcron Pro AR45 DISC 28mm wide 45mm deep. My current bike uses QR on both the front and rear wheel. If I purchase this wheelset using the QR option (Novatec Hub), is it possible to modify the wheelset for a Thru Axle upgrade later? (If I get a new bike) Or are there any other wheelhubs for this wheelset that are both QR and Thru Axle compatible? Thanks!

LightBicycle 2021/05/08

Hi Juko, Are you planning on building the wheelset 700C road disc with your current hub? May I know the item number of the Novatec hubs you have? Most Nocatec Quick Release hubs can be converted to thru-axle hubs using a thru-axle adapter. Can you tell me more about your riding condition so I can know if AR45 is the best rim700C road disc for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I am trying to buy a pair of R65 Rims to use with the DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs that I have, what size Sapim CX Ray spokes do I need to buy to mount these rims onto the hubs?

LightBicycle 2021/04/08

Hi M, We will do the calculation for you, don't worry. I will send the order to you via email since the spokes are not available online. Can you be more specific about the hub specs? road disc or rim brake? 20H or 24H? the spacing size? center lock? Thanks, Lightbicycle

James 2021/04/03

I'm considering a set of your wheels with either the DT Swiss 350 or Novatec D411SB / D412SB hubs. Can you let me know the comparative noise level of the freehubs on the DT Swiss vs. Novatec? I'd prefer a quiet freehub, but I'm not sure the DT Swiss is in my budget.

LightBicycle 2021/04/03

Hi James, Thanks for your inquiry! DT Swiss hubs are more quiet than Novatec hubs, and the quality is also much more stable than Novatec hubs. If you do not mind the price, please go for DT Swiss 350 hubs. For future hubs maintance cost will be higher if you choose cheap hubs, like wheel rebuilt cost, etc. Which road disc wheels 700C do you like? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Calvin 2021/03/26

Hi Light Bicycle, Do you have any Falcon Pro wheelset offerings in 60-65mm deep rims? I am interested in the AR55 Falcon pro (I run 25-30c tires, road use) but would really love a 65mm deep rim in the pro quality offering. Thank you!

LightBicycle 2021/03/26

Hi Calvin, Sorry that we do not have a plan to open a new mold to do the deeper falcon pro rim 700C currently. How about the falcon R65 rim (25.85mm wide/65mm deep) with a satin finish, which looks close to paintless finish. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi LB Team, you are stocking also SON 28 Dynamo hubs with 28 spokes and e-through 12mm and is it possible to get a wheel set made with on of these in the front and a DT350 in the back? Thanks for your support, kind regards - Till

LightBicycle 2021/02/08

Hi Till, Thanks for your inquiry. It is okay to build wheelset with front Son 28 Dynamo hub/rear DT Swiss 350 hubs. May i know which wheelset you like? mtb or road disc? Which model? Is it your bike front 15*110mm boost/rear 12*148mm boost? or center lock front 12*100mm/rear 12*142mm? Then i can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Kevin 2021/02/04

During the winter months I use a wheel-on trainer for workouts. Can I use the falcon wheels in this manner?

LightBicycle 2021/02/05

Hi Kevin, We got your inquiry. What is your bike and your tire width? May i have your riding style and weight please? Then we can check with falcon 700C wheelset is better for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

sarge 2020/11/11

Hi, I have a 2018 pivot switchblade which requires rear 12x157Ta superboost spacing. I didn't see any hub options that were that size with any wheel sets I was interested in. My front is 15x110 TA boost. Any suggestions? I would like to keep the budget reasonable and hope for internal wheel space to be at about 131-135 mm. Thanks, Sarge

LightBicycle 2020/11/12

Hi Sarge, Yes, we do have 12/157mm super boost hubs, what brand do you prefer? Hope Pro 4? Industry Nine 1/1, Hydra? Onyx Classic or Vesper? Also, which wheelset mountain bike you like? Then we can quote accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle
