TECH

The WR38 was built with one goal in mind: the absolute best long distance gravel rim. The massive 25mm inner width provides a stable profile for even the widest gravel tires. At 38mm deep, you get an aerodynamic benefit without making it hard to control in crosswinds. With a 32 or 28 spoke hole count, the WR38 makes an excellent bike packing or touring rim.

Our Falcon Pro line of rims feature all of our latest manufacturing technologies. The scratch-resistant BlackTek (Paintless) finish will keep your rims looking sharp for miles and miles.

Daniel : Custom WR38 Falcon Pro Wheelset for my Gravelbike. With a Hub Dynamo in the front and the new DT Swiss 350 Hub in the back. Oilslick brass nipple and Oilslick decals. Incredibly light and stiff, and just beautiful to look at.

Angel : Over several years I have built several wheelsets using LB carbon fiber rims. R45, AR46, AR36 Disc, Custom AR46/AR56 to repurpose Roval hubs with 16/21 spokes. The results have been excellent, every single wheelset has been straight forward to build and perform just as good if not better than the famous brands (I've owned Zipp, Roval, Enve). The quality is excellent and customer service the same.

Kyle : Light bicycle is the real deal! The customer service is really unheard of in todays day and age! They were transparent and honest in the time I had to wait and provided status updates multiple time thru the build process. This is my first wheel set from them and am already considering another set of 650s! My skepticism of too good to be true was pleasantly proved wrong! They suggested some changes to my initial build such as spoke count and rims style based on my weight and riding style. My second ride on my carbon kona libre was very rocky and fast and I was a little nervous how they would hold up after some big rock drops… perfect! Obviously I would recommend them a hundred times over. If your a skeptic like me just do it! You won’t be disappointed!

How Can I specify in an online order a customized laced for Cannondale AI 6mm offset? is there any extra cost for this? Do I have to do it in the last step before payment?


LightBicycle 2020/10/01

Hi Pablo, Thanks for your inquiry! Yes, it is okay to build rear wheel with cannondale ai 6mm offset. You can list your wheelset specs here, we can work on invoice accordingly for you.Or you can place the order through our website, but leave a message on the order " rear wheel ai 6mm offset".

Can you build with SILVER Sapim CX Ray spokes and SILVER nipples? Best, C in Toronto


LightBicycle 2020/04/28

Hi Corwyn, 1. Yes, we do have Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Sapim Race spokes in silver. Could you be more specific about the configurations you want to have so we can calculate the spoke lengths and check with the spoke availability? Some lengths are hard to find. 2. Yes, we do have Sapim Polyax nipples in silver. 3. Since you are in Toronto, we can ship the wheelset from our Canada warehouse. Do you like spokes only or complete gravel wheelset? Thanks, Lightbicycle
