Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.
LB Flyweight Carbon Regular Edition >> -It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things more aero, designed to unlimit your hub choice making your wheels more customizable than ever.
LB Flyweight Carbon Special Edition >> - It maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things light, designed to pair seamlessly with our Speed Hubs through the use of specially designed aluminium nipples.
Berd PolyLight >> - It is constructed from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are widely considered to be the lightest bicycle spoke option in the world.

The layup schedule is predetermined for each model, but you can choose the outer layer for cosmetic appearence.

The rim strength & weight is virtually identical.

Matte UD is the most popular and has a subtle look.

The futuristic Hexa-Comb and Braided UD are smooth and looks great on deep rims.

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole effectively help evacuate both the water trapped inside the rim and the air leaking into the rim chamber caused by nonperfect tubeless tape sealing handwork that may risk rim explosure in an aggressive tire inflating.

It is the small reinforced layer prelaminated on the area where the drain hole is drilled later that makes the rim strength fairly ensured without any compromise of weight added.

Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims with drain holes.

Valve Stem This is a required option.

We use a lightweight black alloy anodized valves with an oversized concave collar for easy gripping. A rubber o-ring goes in between the rim and the collar to help seal the rim and match the contour of the rim profile. The valve core is removable so you can add sealant without removing your tire.

Hi Is wheelset 26c02 hookless and as strong as 26c03 ? Thank you

Light-Bicycle 2016/05/20

Hello Steve, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, the 26C02 is hook version. The hookless 26C03 wheels is stronger than 26C02. Hookless is more durable. I suggest you to choose the 26C03. It is hookless design, the rim wall will be stronger. And it is also wider and deeper for RM26C03 rim. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hi, For wheelset w/ 26co3 i would like to use dt 240 hubs. Does the centerlock 240 come in j bend or straight pull , and either with 28 or 32 option? Is the straight pull any harder to true if necessary?

Light-Bicycle 2016/09/23

Hello Steve, Thanks for your inquiry. Below are the hubs we stock now. What hubs axle size do you like for front & rear? -DT 240S J-bend center lock hubs, 32H -DT 240S straight pull center lock hubs, 28H Straight pull refers to spokes with no bend at the head. It allows for an ideal strength to weight ratio when compared to J-bend spokes. However, if you use bladed spoke which is more flexible, both J-bend and straight pull hubs are easy to true. It depends on spoke. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Can you lace these rims up to a Lefty hub? I have a Cannondale scalpel with a lefty fork.

For rear hub, Novatec & Hope hubs are available. Which do you prefer for front & rear? Then we will quote accordingly. For rims, it is 30mm wide 26er rim with hook (360 /-15g).

nic 2015/06/27

I have 3 questions. Do you have pictures of your different rim weaves, 3k, 12k, UD? Matte or glossy? 32H? I don;t know which to pick because I don;t know what they look like. Do you have colored spokes? Should I get the 30mm or the 38mm wheelset for my 26" trail bike?

Light-Bicycle 2015/06/29

Hello Nic, Thanks for your inquiry. Please find attached pictures of the rim weave. For 3k/12k/UD, it is the outer carbon fiber layer to make the carbon fiber with different outlook, and all the inside carbon fiber are the same. So, the rim strength & weight is almost the same. 3k matte &UD matte are more popular. For spoke, only black color is available. Is that ok for you? But we have Pillar Pt 734 nipples in black/blue/gold/green/red/silver. Which color do you prefer? We’d like to recommend the 38mm wide 26er wheels for AM riding. It is much wider and stronger. If you like, we can build it as following specs. -Rims: Hookless 38mm width AM rims, 420 /-15g. Attached is the rim profile. -Hubs: We have Novatec & Hope hubs. Which do you prefer? Do you like QR or thru axle for front & rear? -Spokes: Black, Pillar x-tra 1420 aero -Nipples: Pillar PT 734 Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hi, which rim would you recommend for trail and light AM riding, 85kg rider weight. Is the RM26C02 strong enough or is the RM26C03 better? Can the wheels be built with DT Swiss or Sapim spokes (e.g. D-Lite)? Pillar spokes are a bit hard to come by as a replacement hereabouts. Finally, do you have access to Hope Straight Pull hubs? Thanks.

Light-Bicycle 2015/06/29

Hello Jan, Thanks for your inquiry. According to your details, we’d like to recommend the 33mm or 38mm width 26er AM rims. It is much wider and stronger. The 26C02 30mm width rim is for XC riding.

For hubs, we only have Hope pro2 evo J-bend 6-bolt hubs, no Hope straight pull hubs. But DT Swiss 240S straight pull hubs are available. Is that ok for you? Do you like QR or thru axle for front & rear? For spokes & nipples, we can build it with DT Swiss competition spokes or Sapim spoke. Which do you prefer? Sapim spokes need extra cost.
