AR24 Disc Carbon Gravel Wheelset

i got Falcon WHEELSET AR24 DISC it says "hookless clincher" is it safe to put clincher tire? people say it's safer to put tubless tires on hookless rim? thanks.

Hi Sam, The AR24 is compatible with clincher tire. The clincher tires are safe to install as long as maximum tire pressure is not exceeded. What tire width are you going to use? How much tire pressure will you ride? Thanks, Lightbicycle

I can see only the novatec hub can be either 12 or 15mm front axle. Can you provide end caps for hub conversion from 12 to 15mm (or reverse) so the wheel could be used on 12mm fork AND 15mm fork ?

LightBicycle 2021/12/25

Hi Julien, Yes, I am sorry that end caps are hard to access now. But we can get a conversion kit for Industry Nine hubs and Carbon-Ti hubs if you are interested. Which gravel wheelset do you like? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi! I bought these wheels with the novatec d411/412 hubs. Are these considererd road hubs and should I use a spacer when installing a shimano mtb-cassette?

Hi Erik, Thanks for reaching out! You can take our freehub compatibility recommendation chart for ref. https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/Bike-Freehub-Cassette-Compatibility-Manual.html On the other hand, you can configure the wheelset with MTB Novatec hubs here. https://www.lightbicycle.com/beadless-carbon-29er-XC-light-weight-mtb-tubeless-wheelset-hand-built-27mm-wide.html Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi Jean, Could you kindly answer a few questions for me before I make any recommendations for you? 1. What's your weight? 2. What tire are you plan to run? 3. Is there any chance that you will run with high pressure? over 80psi? rim brake or disc? 4. Do you have an ideal estimated weight range for the wheelset 700C? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello! I'm looking for something truly light, as I'm giving my bike a diet to lose weight and I'd like to gain more performance out of my riding. I ride on gravel and tarmac, and occasional steep hills. So something fast but also comfortable on longer rides. Out of curiosity, how would wheels like the AR24 disc, as they seem to be your lightest, handle on long mixed road rides? I am not looking to race them. I'm also interested in the AR28 and WR35 disc models. How would these compare?

LightBicycle 2020/04/24

Hi Valtteri, 1. Yes, AR24 is the lightest rim we have. In fact, it's one of our oldest model (on the market for many years now). It was intended to design for XC riding (MTB model RM29C06) at the time. But as the disc road bike industry changes, road rims become wider and wider nowadays. Some of our customers use this XC rim as gravel rim. The reason why we put AR24 under the gravel category recently is that people always ask for lighter road rims. That been said, the AR24 only available in the hookless bead version, so you cannot run high pressure with it. 2. AR28 gravel bike rim(22mm internal, 29mm outer width, 28mm depth) on the other hand, was a specific design for gravel riding. You might notice that AR28 is an asymmetrical rim with a 2mm offset. This will help the wheels become more balanced. 3. We do have another superlight rim released recently, it's the AR35 (21mm internal, 28mm outer width, 35mm depth). The flyweight version is only 350+/-15g. The other highlight of this model is the manufacturing technologies (first launched in 2018) that applied to the rim. The rim comes out of the mold as a finished product by using a special release agent and high accuracy mold. The rim won't need any post-production because the finish itself is strong and without flaws. You can easily notice the carbon fiber texture. This requires high accuracy and meticulous production. The outcome for rim performance is stronger and high scratch resistance. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Looking for a light, low profile, disc brake climbing wheel. The AR 24 recommends tires above 28C. What if I run 23-25C?

LightBicycle 2020/04/17

Hi Keith, For 22mm internal width rim, 23-25c tires would be a bit narrow to fit, which the 700C rim wouldn't hold the tires on as good. So it would be better to keep the tire within the range 28~50c. Thanks, Lightbicycle
