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.

Bead type This is a required option.

Hook is for road riders who value aerodynamic gains and mostly ride on smoother roads. If you plan to run high pressure, then a hooked/clincher rim is a safe bet.

Hookless is for those who are running wider tires, lower pressures, or are riding on rougher roads. You will benefit from a more comfortable ride due to the higher volume and increased impact protection. Gravel riders and cyclocross riders are often in this situation.

Both hook and hookless rims are built using the same dimensions and materials.

Finish This is a required option.

Matte is slightly lighter and a more subtle finish (most popular). Glossy has a shine to it.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom finish such as Satin/Raw etc at no extra charge but subject to rim models with 3-5 days LONGER on manufacture. And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start. If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Weave This is a required option.

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.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom weaves such as 3k twill vertical/ horizontal/ Braided UD etc with extra charge of $15USD/rim as a start but subject to rim models with 3~5 days LONGER on manufacture.

Center Channel Hole This is a required option.

With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.

No Access Holes: No spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" and was made popular by Mavic. Some companies still refer to it as "UST style", however, UST is actually a specific interface between the tire and rim which was developed by a partnership between Mavic, Michelin, and Hutchinson.

Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

With Access Holes

No Access Holes

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.
More info about holes >>

No Drain Holes

Decal This is a required option.

Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

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.

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
Information of tubeless rim tape

Apply Tubeless Tape: In Light Bicycle, a proprietary taping aid works with our wheel builders to guarantee that a solid taping craft at industrial-level is well implemented in order for you to ride carefree tubeless at any conditions.

You do NOT have to use any tubeless tape to run tubeless if you have chosen "No Access Holes" on the rim center channel.

Angel : Over several years I have built several wheelsets using LB carbon fiber rims. R45, AR46, AR36 Disc, Custom AR46/AR56 to repurpose Roval hubs with 16/21 spokes. The results have been excellent, every single wheelset has been straight forward to build and perform just as good if not better than the famous brands (I've owned Zipp, Roval, Enve). The quality is excellent and customer service the same.

Hello, I see somewhere on your site that sattin finish could be requested, but the option is not available when choosing configuration. Is it possible to request it however ? regards Vincent

LightBicycle 2020/09/03

Hi Vincent, It is okay to manufacture satin finish. If you like AR36 road disc wheelset with satin finish, you can leave a message on the order. We will see it and check with you through email. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mike 2020/07/27

Hello, I have a Bianchi Infinito CV Road Bike with 12x100/12x142 thru-axle. Which wheelsets will work for my bike? 700x28. I am in Los Angeles, California USA. Thank you, Mike

LightBicycle 2020/07/29

Hi Mike, The original wheel is Fulcrum Racing 418 Disc, the rim width is 22mm, it's very narrow compare to the AR36 (21mm internal, 28mm outer width). However, I noticed that the tire range is from 23-50mm according to Fulcrum's website. So I think the AR36 will be fine. What configurations that you want to build with? Here's the hub list that listed all the hubs we can get for you. https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/Light-Bicycle-Bike-Hub-List-of-2020.html Thanks, Lightbicycle

brannbrann 2020/01/12

Just a testimonial. I took delivery of the AR36 disc a few months back, with DTSwiss 180 hubs, Sapim spokes, and tubeless tape and valves. While I was not able, or courageous enough, to get a pair of GP5000 TL to fit, I was able to put on a set of Schwalbe One tubeless tires on the AR36. I was able to seat the tires easily with just a track pump, so no problems there at all. Oh, now for the good part :) These wheels have totally transformed my bike! It is an Allez Sprint Disc, and I am still surprised at how good these wheels feel on this bike. It has become super responsive, super smooth, and surprisingly quiet. On my old aluminum wheels, they gave a hypnotic sound, but not so much with the AR36. They are very quiet when rolling. Well, the freewheel of the DT 180s is quite loud, but silent when pedaling. But the responsiveness of the wheels is so surprising. Turn in is instant, sprinting out of the saddle is instant, and just rolling along is comfortable. They do catch wind, however. Because of the instant response with these wheels, it makes you correct your line through corners. I've found I need to be extra vigilant going downhill. Thank you so much for making these! If I ever upgrade to a new bike, these wheels will be coming with me! Cheers, Brann

LightBicycle 2020/01/13

Hi Brann, Thanks for reaching out with the awesome review. So happy to hear that you are satisfied with our 700C road disc wheels. Such an encouragement to us all. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if it's possible for you to tell your story and allow us to share it with the LB site's visitors? We have this Storytelling section, which riders can tell their own LB story and share the experience with others. It's totally ok if you don't want to share your face, people would still love to learn more about the 180 hubs as they are just come out of the market. EXP riding on the field would be so excited to read. Again, the LB team so excited to hear from one more customer 's feedback. Your satisfaction is always the drive of our innovation. Thanks, Lightbicycle
