Brake System This is a required option.

Disc

Bead type This is a required option.

Hook is for road riders who value aerodynamic gains and mostly ride on smoother roads. If you plan to run high pressure, then a hooked/clincher rim is a safe bet.

Hookless is for those who are running wider tires, lower pressures, or are riding on rougher roads. You will benefit from a more comfortable ride due to the higher volume and increased impact protection. Gravel riders and cyclocross riders are often in this situation.

Both hook and hookless rims are built using the same dimensions and materials.
Find more about Hook VS Hookless >>

Hook

Hole Count This is a required option.

Please note that our valves are drilled for presta and spoke holes are made for external nipples by default.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom drilling for any other hole counts or special drilling (e.g G3/ 2:1 etc), most of which are at no extra charge. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

24H

Finish This is a required option.

Paintless: The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications. Our Recon Pro and Falcon Pro rims feature BlackTek and come out of molds as a completed product, with a scratch resistant and near flawless finish, eliminating the need for coating or painting. We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Crystal Painting: A fantastic painting effect designed by Light Bicycle.

Full Custom: This option offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR REQUIREMENT IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details.

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.
More info about Weave >>

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. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Rim Warranty This is a required option.

For Recon Pro Series ( MTB rim), Falcon Pro (road rim) and Drift Pro (fatbike rim), 5-year warranty is set as standard, and optional Lifetime Premium Warranty are kindly offered to purchase with minimum charge respectively.

5 Years

Lifetime USD +100/rim

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.

No Access Holes: No spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" and was made popular by Mavic. Some companies still refer to it as "UST style", however, UST is actually a specific interface between the tire and rim which was developed by a partnership between Mavic, Michelin, and Hutchinson.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

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.
More info about holes >>

With Drain Holes

No Drain Holes

Decal This is a required option.

1. Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro) - Our laser engraving technology is eco-friendly and adds a snappy, polished aesthetic to your new rims.
Please note: Contrary to rims with any coated/painted finishes (matte, glossy and satin) as well as Crystal Painting, laser engraving could work with paintless rims only.

2. Full Custom - Add some additional personalization and go full custom with your rim graphics! Laser engraving is available in one colour (light grey) and starts at $5 USD per rim. If you select this option, LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT. For example: "I need my personalized logo printed" or "Just text 'ABC racing' ". We will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details of custom graphics.

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.

Overview

Turbo rims feature a 25mm internal width, 32mm external width, and a maximum width of 34.5mm, making them ideal for mainstream 28c and 30c tire sizes. The measured width of labelled 28c and 30c tires usually ranges from 30mm to 34mm. The rim width of the Turbo rims, when paired with these tires, adheres to the 105% rule of thumb.

The aero advantage of the Turbo wheels comes from their shape and rim depth. The smooth curvature of the rim sidewall reduces air drag and enhances crosswind stability, similar to our tested and proven X-Flow profile. The rim shape also enhances lateral stiffness, making the wheel feel more responsive during acceleration.

The rims are available in 21H for carbon spoke and 24H for steel spoke builds. Feel free to customize your Turbo 50 wheels.

Mark 2024/09/11

Hi, I have a damaged Roval CL 50 rear wheel and I need to replace the rim. I'm wondering if your Turbo 50 Disc Rim would work with the Roval hub and spokes. I see that the carbon rim is 21h, same as the Roval CL 50. If not, do you have a 50mm rim that would work with the Roval CL 50 hub and spokes? Thanks. Mark Clausen

LightBicycle 2024/09/12

Hi Mark, For our Turbo 50 disc rim 700C disc, there are 24H and 21H spoke count. We can do custom drilling to match your roval hub. Pls provide the hub dimension specs. we can caculate on the drilling angle accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Is it possible to build a set of wheels with unique profiles for the front and rear wheel? I'm looking at the turbo 50 for the front wheel, and the AR565 for the rear (would prefer a 60mm rear if there is one available) . Carbon Ti hubs, flyweight build. Are carbon spokes an option?

LightBicycle 2024/09/12

Hi Bill, Yes, it is okay to order a mix wheelset road disc 700C. We just sent you a quotation of wheelset front turbo 50/rear AR565 to your email. Please check. Thanks, Lightbicycle
