TECH

The Flyweight is a new series of wheels from Light Bicycle. Targeted specifically towards racers who seek every possible edge on the race course. Our goal was to produce the lightest possible wheel without sacrificing performance.

Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and countless revisions in each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to produce a strong and stiff XC wheel while dramatically reducing the weight.

Construction: We used a special uni-directional pre-preg with a very low fiber areal weight. This is an exclusive process to our Flyweight rims. To further reduce the weight we used a blend of Toray T700 and T800 specific layups. We opted for a new subtle ultralight waterslide graphic in glossy black with a matte finish overtop in the spirit of keeping these as true cross country race oriented wheels.

Lee 2020/10/01

I am interested in the RM650BC09 for gravel touring. Will that rim work with 47mm tires at up to 40 psi? If not, what is the max pressure? thanks.


LightBicycle 2020/10/02

Hi Lee, Thanks for your inquiry! For our RM650BC09 wheelset 27.5 er, it is okay to ride under 60PSI. The max tire pressure is 60PSI.So, if you ride 40PSI, it works. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Any chance you could do a front wheel with a Cannondale Lefty hub?


LightBicycle 2020/08/13

Hi Josh, Yes, we can build a front 650B wheel with a lefty hub for you. Are you referring to lefty1.0 or supermax 2.0? We can do both. A few brands optional, Tune, Carbon-Ti, Industry Nine. Which will you prefer? Please let me know if your ideal hub is not listed above. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi - Can I fit an 11-speed Ultegra cassette on this wheelset? Thx, mathieu


LightBicycle 2019/10/03

Hi Mathieu, Thanks for your inquiry! Do you have the 11-speed Ultgegra cassette model NO.? Then we can check whether it is shimano MTB10/11S or shimano road 11S. Yes, we can get RM650C09 650B wheelset with correct free hub accordingly for your cassette. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Shane 2019/03/04

Hi, I'd like to purchase two 650bc09 rims please. The flyweight version in 24 hole and 32 hole. I work at Bicycles NYC in new york city and we are a light bicycle dealer. Can you help me purchase these rims please? I'd like the unidirectional carbon matte rims. Thank you. Shane.


LightBicycle 2019/03/05

Hi Shane, We only recommend using the flyweight version of RM650BC09 on the 650B front wheel. But if you insist, I can make the order for you anyway. What kind of riding do you plan to do? The flyweight rim was designed for light XC riding. If you are a heavy rider, I would suggest you go with the standard version rim on the back. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Gary 2018/01/25

Hi, I'm interested in a pair of 650B standard XC wheels. I wish to fit these wheels to my Cannondal Habit which requires the rear wheel to be dished 6mm to suite the Ai (Assymetric Intergration) set up. Can you produce the wheel to suite my need and will this cost any extra money? Thanks


LightBicycle 2018/01/26

Hi Gary, Yes, we can build the requested AI rear wheel for you. In fact, we have built several of our customers before. And we won't charge extra for the special wheel building requirement. Thanks, Lightbicycle

peter 2017/06/27

Hi, Are the prices quoted in AUD or USD? Would you recommend the 27mm or 30 mm width for 2.6 inch tyres. Is it possible to write an invoice of less thanr 1000AUD for customs? Many thanks Peter Pridmore


LightBicycle 2017/06/29

Hello Peter, Thanks for your inquiry. Our web prices are in USD. Below are the recommended tires width for both rims. I think the 30mm width rim is more suitable for 2.6’’ tire. Or may I know what your riding terrain is normally? Do you ride aggressively? What is your weight? Then we will do some recommendations and quote accordingly. 27mm width rims: 1.9’’ ~ 2.3’’ 30mm width rims: 2.0’’ ~ 2.4’’ Yes, we can declare the value under AUD1000, then you don’t need to pay the tax. Don’t worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle
