Is it possible to get fatter and lose weight at the same time? Thanks to a lightweight carbon profile, the FAT680’s save a pound of rotational weight compared to most alloy wheelsets, all while adding lateral stiffness.

The 80mm inner width runs a standard 4.3” tire up to a full size 5.0”, making it perfect for all-conditions of fatbike riding. It’s wide enough to tackle deep snow and sand, but still nimble enough on a tight single track.

COMMENTS

Joel 2021/01/25

I'm interested in the drift fat bike rims 26". I plan to run 4-inch Dillinger 4 120TPI studded tires. The Dillinger website recommends 64-94mm rims. Which drift rims do you recommend for this? The drift 65mm rims are slightly too small -- 60mm inside width. But, the 85mm rims are recommended for 4.3-5 inch tires, not 4 inch tires. Please let me know your recommendation. Thanks!

LightBicycle 2021/01/26

Hi Joel, I would suggest RSNOW03 (60mm internal, 65mm external width) to fit the 4.0“ tires of yours. The 85mm would be a bit too wide for the tire. Our rims are with hookless design, so it would be tighter than normal hook rims to hold the tires on the rim. If you are running wider tires than recommended, the installation and performance might not be the best profile. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Brett 2019/01/30

Hi guys I ride a trek Farly with 26” x 82mm rims ( Jackalopes by trek). The rims are asymmetrical (have an off set) they take an 3.8 tire. My bike back end won’t take any bigger tire than that. What can you recommend as I have written off my front rim but I’m looking to replace both. Regards Brett Hand

LightBicycle 2019/01/30

Thank you for your inquiry! For trek Jackalope rim, it is 81.5mm outer/75.2mm inner. We recommend our FAT680 for you. It is okay for 3.8" tires. Don't worry about that. FAT680: 85mm outer/80mm inner, 20mm deep, 580g+/-20, USD196 each Do you like fat bike rims only or complete wheelset(built with hubs &spokes)? Thanks, Lightbicycle

brett 2019/01/30

Rims only but with a single row of nipple holes.

LightBicycle 2019/01/30

Hi Brett, For rims with single row nipple holes, is it offset drilling that you like? Please find attached picture. If yes, we can manufacture for you. How many do you like? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Brett 2019/02/23

Hi I would like 2 rims with single row holes and offset drilling please.

LightBicycle 2019/02/23

Hi Brett, We just got your message. It is okay to order single row hole and offset drilling on fat bike rim. Please find attached picture of drilling pattern, for single row hole/offset drilling pattern, it is on the left on the picture. If it is what you like, you can click on below cart, and add to your cart, then proceed the purchase & payment. Please let us know if you have any other questions. https://www.lightbicycle.com/site/share-cart?id=100 Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2017/12/23

Hello Rob, Thanks for your inquiry. We have 65mm/ 85mm/ 90mm wide 26er fat bike rims for you. May I know what the tire width you use normally? What is your weight? Do you ride aggressively? Is your previous rim with 95mm width? Then we will do some recommendations and quote accordingly. Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2017/02/07

Hello Marko, Thanks for your inquiry. According to info, our 85mm wide 26er fat bike rim is suitable for your riding. Are your both hubs are 36H? Because it takes around one month for 36H rims manufacturing. Or UD matte 32H center drilling rim line of rim is inventoried so we can ship quickly. Thanks, Lightbicycle
