JT : Specialized SL4 Roubaix (rim brake) with AR46 front, AR56 rear (satin finish on both). Bitex RAF12 front and RAR12 rear hubs, which I highly recommend due to larger, more durable bearings for not much extra in price (+$50) or weight (+25g). Three LB logos with color to match frame, and black LB valve stem decal (the true stealth option, in my opinion). Sapim CX-Sprint spokes on drive side, CX-Ray on all others. Full 2x lacing on rear wheel, 0x (radial) on front.

Jan : My AR56 wheelset on a Canyon Ultimate. Been riding this pair for 1 year now. Front the 30mm version (AR56-30) with Schwalbe 25mm tire and rear the 28mm version (AR56-28) with 28mm tire. Both with CX-Ray spoke. Ride great, fast wheels and smooth because the tires are so wide. Highly recommended.

Is it possible to get the logo in two different colors? Like, the square logo is one color and the other logos a different color?


LightBicycle 2023/03/04

Hi Malik, The valve logo is an outline design. The LB Triangle logo is actually hollow. That's why you can only choose to customize the color of the square background. We did a similar custom decal for our customer before. You can check it out. https://www.lightbicycle.com/storytelling/Lydia-My-Dreambuild-of-a-Sparkling-Gravel-Bike Thanks, Lightbicycle
