Hole Count This is a required option.

Please note that our valves are drilled for presta and spoke holes are made for external nipples by default.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom drilling for any other hole counts or special drilling (e.g G3/ 2:1 etc), most of which are at no extra charge. 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.

Finish This is a required option.

Paintless: The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications. Our Recon Pro and Falcon Pro rims feature BlackTek and come out of molds as a completed product, with a scratch resistant and near flawless finish, eliminating the need for coating or painting. We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Crystal Painting: A fantastic painting effect designed by Light Bicycle.

Full Custom: This option 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 REQUIREMENT IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details.

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.
More info about Weave >>

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. 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.

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 >>

With Drain Holes

No Drain Holes

Rim Warranty This is a required option.

For Recon Pro Series ( MTB rim), Falcon Pro (road rim) and Drift Pro (fatbike rim), 5-year warranty is set as standard, and optional Lifetime Premium Warranty are kindly offered to purchase with minimum charge respectively.

5 Years

Lifetime USD +100/rim

Decal This is a required option.

1. Grey Laser Engraving (Recon Pro) - Our laser engraving technology is eco-friendly and adds a snappy, polished aesthetic to your new rims.
Please note: Contrary to rims with any coated/painted finishes (matte, glossy and satin) as well as Crystal Painting, laser engraving could work with paintless rims only.

2. Full Custom - Add some additional personalization and go full custom with your rim graphics! Laser engraving is available in one colour (light grey) and starts at $5 USD per rim. If you select this option, LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN QUOTES IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT. For example: "I need my personalized logo printed" or "Just text 'ABC racing' ". We will reach out to you once the order is placed to finalize the details of custom graphics.

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.

Tad 2023/02/28

I want to purchase a pair (2 rims) of Recon Pro AM935 in 32 holes, from the Canadian warehouse. The finish is unimportant if I can save time and money getting them from North America. What exactly do you have there? I am a returning customer, very happy and impressed with my previous rims from Light Bicycle. Thank You Tad Teays The Dalles, Oregon

LightBicycle 2023/02/28

Hi Tad, We do have AM935 32H rims 29er stock in the Canada warehouse. We sent you the quotation in email. Please check. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mark 2022/12/03

Hi which of your wheelsets (carbon/Alu) do you recommend for a surly ecr with 3“ (tubeless ready)? Can I save some weight if I do not go for 40mm, or is this not safe to go for 35mm or 30? Thanks mark

LightBicycle 2022/12/08

Hi Mark, Hi Mark, We only sell carbon bike wheels . And we got some great suited wheels as per your request. 1. For 3" tires, we recommend using wider rims. So 32mm internal would work. 2. Can you tell me more about your riding style and personal profile so I can make better recommendations for you. 3. We can reduce the weight by building with lighter hubs and parts. Do you have a preferred budget range in mind? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi. Good Afternoon! I was wondering if it would be possible to send you a set of hubs and spokes and have them built into a wheelset?? If this is possible could you also do custom decals on the rims and hubs?? Cheers!

LightBicycle 2021/05/22

Hi Robert, It is okay to send us the hubs, and we can build mtb wheelset 29er for you. Are you hubs normal lacing pattern? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mike 2021/01/30

Hello, I had a question about two of your 29er rims. I was looking at the AM 935 and the EN 934. I usually run tires between 2.6 and 2.8, weigh close to 200lbs and often bikepack. The AM 935 have a weight limit of 140kg while the EN 934 has a weight limit of 125kg while claiming to be one of your stiffest options. Can you explain the difference in weight limits as well as make a recommendation. Thanks, Mike

LightBicycle 2021/01/30

Hi Mike, As the model name indicates, the AM935 was designed for All-Mountain 29er riding. On the other hand, the EN rims are for Enduro riding, which is way more aggressive than AM riding. The wheels suffer from big drops and force. We evaluate both the durability and strength of the wheels to adjust the rider weight recommendation range. I hope this makes sense. On the other hand, if you are a super aggressive rider, we can make a specially reinforced version for you. Thanks, Lightbicycle
