Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.
LB Flyweight Carbon Regular Edition >> -It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things more aero, designed to unlimit your hub choice making your wheels more customizable than ever.
LB Flyweight Carbon Special Edition >> - It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things light, designed to pair seamlessly with our Speed Hubs through the use of specially designed aluminium nipples.
Berd PolyLight >> - It is constructed from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are widely considered to be the lightest bicycle spoke option in the world.

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.

Flyweight	40g - 70g lighter	Toray T800 and T700	New layup for weight saving	90 kgs

Front Flyweight / Rear Standard with specific layup is also a good option that proves the harmony of weight and strength.

Standard

Flyweight USD +12

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.

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.

Full Custom (Laser only) USD +5

Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro)

Blank (No decal)

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.

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

None

Add Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

While the vast majority of frames require Centered (Traditional) dishing, those of Cannondale’s with Ai offset design (Asymmetric Integration) comply with a special kind of offset dishing for the rear wheel.

3t-strada-on-lightbicycle-wr50-crystal-effect-paint-customized-carbon-wheels

Chaadster : I ordered a WR50 wheelset with Sapim CX Ray/Sprint (driveside rear) laced to Bitex hubs and finished in silver crystal effect paint. They’ve been great, and look terrific! They arrived true and round, and they like to go fast. The 25mm internal width really gives these a sense of stability. Overall, I’m impressed with these, and would definitely consider ordering from LB again!

Paul-Julien : I love my custom wheelset! I have built my bike and rode the whole summer with it. I mostly shopped the Journey frameset for those characteristics: Carbon (lightweight) Many mounting points Possible to mount fenders and a rack Possible internal cable routing Accommodate large tires (700x45C) Accepts 2x drivetrain

Ben : Configured with 28 spokes, brass nipples, and 3x lacing for increased strength and reliability. Although far from being a light build wheelset I’m really impressed with these so far. The ability to completely configure the wheels to anyone’s liking really sets Light Bicycle apart from the rest.

Maxime 2021/09/06

Hi, I’m interested in the WR50 DISC model. However, the wheelset is intented to be used on a Cannondale Supersix Evo SE/CX, which required the rear wheel to be offset by 6mm to be fully centered between the chainstay. https://cannondale.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/219101107-Ai-Asymmetric-Integration- Is it possible to build these wheels according to these specs?

LightBicycle 2021/09/07

Hi Maxime, Yes, we can build the rear disc wheel 700C with a 6mm offset for your rear wheel with no problem. In fact, we build offset wheels for our customers with the Cannondale AI system all the time, so don't worry. Can you provide the wheel specifications that you want to order so I can send you the order accordingly? You can proceed with the order via email since the option is not listed online. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Johnson 2020/10/06

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a Falcon Pro WR50 wheelset for my bike. I would like to get the DT Swiss 350 hub, but my bike has SRAM Force AXS 12 speed, meaning I would need the SRAM XDR driver which is not an option for that hub for some reason. Is there any way to get the 350 hub and the XDR driver? Thanks, Johnson

LightBicycle 2020/10/07

Hi Johnson, Yes, you can order the XDR drive body for the DT SWISS 350 hubs. There will be USD85 more than standard XD freehub body. I can prepare the road disc wheelset WR50 order and send it to you via email if you can provide detailed specs that you desire. Thanks, Lightbicycle

TJ 2020/08/25

1) Hello, can I purchase a complete wheel set without it being built? I have experience as a bicycle mechanic and have the ability to build my own wheels. However, I’d like to save on the build service fee if possible. 2) What is covered by the warranty? Crashes, impacts, etc? 3) Does the hooked bead make mounting a tubeless tire more difficult? There is no option for a hookless rim in my preferred build. I would prefer the hookless option as I plan on running tubeless tires at low pressures. Thanks!

LightBicycle 2020/08/25

Hi Sir, 1. Yes, you can get the rims, spokes, hubs from us without being built. 2. The road disc wheelset 700C that you are interested in is the pro WR50, so the standard warranty is 5-years. You can learn more details from our support > warranty & guarantees :> warranty policy > premium warranty policy The crash should be listed under crash replacement policy on the same page. The process is very easy if anything does happen. send over the photos and serial number, we will analyze and determine solutions with you. You don't need to send the old rims back. 3. What configurations that you are looking for? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Wolfgang 2020/03/09

Hi, I configured a WR50 Disc wheelset. 1st of all I want to know if you will ship to germany with what costs. (Should I expect a delivery delay regarding the actual corona situation?) If shipping is possible, I have 3 tech. questions: what about the flyweight option: Is this thinner (and lighter) in this option? hook/hookless? what I must have in mind for tire compatibility? Do you plan an AR56 with a hookless bread? regards Wolfgang

LightBicycle 2020/03/10

Hi Sir, 1. Yes, there will be a delay given the current corona situation. But it will become normal at the end of March. 2. We do offer tax-prepaid delivery service to Germany, you can compare the shipping plan in the checkout page. 3. The flyweight version road disc rim is made with Toray T700 and T800 mixed carbon fiber in a certain percentage in a different layup method to reduce some weight. 4. The hookless are more compatible with tubeless tires, but you should check with the tire manufacturer just in case. When you plan to run over 60psi, hookless rim can't hold the tires on the rims, you should choose hooked version instead. If you are running under 60psi, hookless would be fine. 5. We don't have plan to make AR56 a hookless version in the near future. Thanks, Lightbicycle
