Hi, I'm going to be purchasing the WR40 Wheelset soon, but I'd like to benefit from my Canadian location and use your North American shop to save on duties/taxes compared to ordering from the Global shop. However, I noticed that the North American shop does not offer these rims with NO Access holes - can you confirm this is in fact true and if I want this option I must order from Global shop? Thanks.

Hi Michael, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, our North American shop does not have WR40 without access holes in stock now? But you can order with a tubeless tape if you need to use tubeless tire~ Or we can ship rims to our NA warehouse if you do not mind waiting, our NA team can build wheels gravel 700C or you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I've been looking at some of your wheels and have a few questions about the WR40 disc, namely regarding the "X-Flow"-profile, the profile schematic shows the spoke holes being aligned with the "widest" part of the variable cross-section of the trailing edge. Does this mean that a 24 spoke rim and a 28 spoke rim come from different moulds and each have a number of "waves" corresponding to the spoke count, or does the cross-sectional variation align with the spokes only for a specific (24?) spoke count, and if so, does it actually matter? How would you say the WR40 compares to the WR38 in terms of impact resistance, stiffness and crosswind stability? Is there some other difference to consider (besides the aero profile and 2mm height difference)? Is the difference between a normal UD finish and a braided one purely cosmetic, or does the construction of the top carbon layer have some impact on the rim's durability, stiffness, or some other technical or performance aspect? Thanks in advance :)

Hi Raymond, Thanks for reaching out. The shape of our x-flow is designed according to 24H, if you want 28H, then it is not completely consistent with the wave of x-flow. The WR40 road disc is higher so it has better impact resistance than the WR38. They're both U-shaped so they have good crosswind stability. The braided UD has no additional technical features, just a difference in appearance, but will weigh 20g/rim more than the UD. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, is it possible to buy a custom build for only the front wheel ?

LightBicycle 2024/04/30

Hi Mathieu, It is okay to order just front single wheel. Which wheel are you interested in? Thanks, Lightbicycle
