COMMENTS

Steve 2021/05/19

I was wondering whether you have experience or evidence whether a tire like the Panaracer Fat B Nimble is working on the 75mm RSNOW05 rim? It would be rather nice to have the option to run lightweight tires during summer. I generally intend to use this as a trail orientated wheelset and tire combo and switch to burlier tires during winter. many thanks Steve

LightBicycle 2021/05/20

Hi Steve, What is your anaracer Fat B Nimble tire width? Then we can check whether it fits our 75mm wide 650B fat bike rim or not. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Ethan 2021/03/31

Hello, Do you offer a heavy duty version of the RSNOW05? Also can i order it with no external holes?

LightBicycle 2021/04/01

Hi Ethan, Thanks for your inquiry! It is okay to order RSNOW05 heavy duty version 650B fat bike rim. It will be around 80g added for each rim, then 580+80=660g+/-15. Does it work for you? For rims" with no external holes", do you mean "no spoke access holes on rim bed"? If yes, we can manufacture accordingly for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Kevin 2018/08/08

I own a retail company in the USA that sells carbon wheels for BMX. I'm building a show bike and need 1 27.5 x 75mm rim, 3k, glossy, 36h, with my custom logo. Can I do this as sample? What is cost, how fast can I get. I have logo - 2 color black and 1837c skype is k.kocher. Please let me know. Would love a 29er that's 70-90mm wide, but don't think you have that.

LightBicycle 2018/08/09

Hi Kevin, We can do customized decals, can you provide the graphics and size to me so I can confirm the cost? Why do you need 29er fat bike rim? it looks like there is really less 29er fat bikes. Normally, they are 26er or 650B. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello Would it be possible to find a pair of rims that weighs 560 grams each ? If I asked for the lightest rims Best regards Michael

LightBicycle 2017/11/18

Hi Michael, Sometimes we will get the rims around 560g. But it is hard to promise. The rim weight range +/-20g is hard to control normally. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, do you have any 27.5 65mm rims left?

LightBicycle 2017/10/08

Hi Ben, Thanks for your inquiry! Sorry that we don’t have 650b 65mm wide fat bike rim, only 75mm wide is available. We recommend our RSNOW05 to run with 4.3”~5.0”. Is that suitable for your tire? Thanks, Lightbicycle

ben 2017/10/30

Hello again, The only 27.5 fat tyres Ive come across are 3.8 only (Bontrager and Maxxis) which would make them unsuitable for the rim? Do you know of other tyre options for this rim? Thanks

LightBicycle 2017/10/31

Hello Ben, 3.8" should be okay. But We recommend our RSNOW05 rim to run 4.3"~5.0" tire. Bontrager has 27.5*4.5" tire. Pls find the link as below. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-components/bike-tires/bontrager-barbegazi-fat-bike-tire/p/12996/?colorCode=black Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, Do you have plans to make this rim in 26" I like the width and profile.

LightBicycle 2017/01/20

Hello Robert, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, only 65mm or 85mm wide 26er fat bike rims are available, not 75mm wide 26er. Both rims width are close to 75mm width. Does that work for you? Rims profile attached for your reference. Thanks, Lightbicycle
