Hello, I have a SRAM 11 speed cassette. Will this fit on the hubs your wheels come with? Thank you!


LightBicycle 2022/08/23

Hi Devin, We only have the front wheel 700C of R88 online. Are you looking for a single rear wheel or a pair? XDR driver body would be compatible for your 11s cassette. DT SWISS 240 EXP would be a good option with XDR freehub. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi I'm interested in purchasing a R88 rim brake wheel (front). Do you have any wind tunnel data or aero data comparing this to other manufacturers wheels? Thanks, Calum


LightBicycle 2022/06/18

Hi Calum, We normally apply CFD analysis during the design period to prove the design itself. A creditable and unbiased wind tunnel test is relatively rare. And given that real-life riding is very different from the wind tunnel. You would be affected by lots of environmental factors compared to the lab condition. Unfortunately, we don't have the comparison data you want. A trustworthy comparison would be from a neutral credit party outside of the shareholder group. This would be the reason why well-regarded brands only offer their own test results. And we don't think it's fair or just to compare our product against other brands. If you have any suggestions for the 3rd-party wind tunnel lab, we would be happy to reach out and see what's possible. Thanks, Lightbicycle
