TECH
Our 34mm wide wheels have become our most popular asymmetric product thanks to its versatility. The 28mm inner width offers a wide and stable tire profile for your enduro tires, without becoming square-edged. You can easily get away with running 2.2’s or 2.5’s, but 2.3” - 2.4” tires are the sweet spot. The EN version has an extra wrap of 3k carbon fiber around the nipple bed, and reinforced sidewalls support G-Out forces, and increased rim stiffness, increasing suitability for aggressive riders over 200 pounds.
More air volume, a wider stance, and the bead seat retention system will keep your tires in place on race day and provide an incredibly solid tubeless platform. Wheel stiffness is further increased with a deep profile, allowing for cornering and charging through rough terrain with more speed and confidence than ever before.
WARRANTY
For Non-Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 3-year Standard Warranty.
For Pro Series Rims: From the date of purchase, 5-year Pro Warranty as standard and an upgraded optional lifetime Premium Warranty with minimum charge.
Crash Replacement: It is applicable with the same period as the warranty time range that you purchased for the rims with 10% /25% discount for Non-Pro series /Pro series.

Thomas : The AM928 wheelset I have was ridden all through COVID. It's been through thousands of miles and tough descents. I did the DT350 hubs and installed the 54t ratchet later and it has been super reliable since 2020.
This bike has been bikepacked and trail ridden in MO, NM, AZ, UT, CO, WY, MT, ID and never skipped a beat. It even did the singletrack descent at mount lemmon. The wheelset has survived thousands of square edge rock hits at speed and shows only a few scratches. I think the hookless thick bead bed is the reason they can survive so much abuse. Although I never put these wheels on my enduro bike (they are non-boost) I think they would hold up pretty well at the bike park as well. They never came out of true (only wheelset I've ever been able to say that about) and I never broke a spoke or lost tension on any of the spokes.
This is the AM928, non boost, DT350 54T straight pull 32h, with aluminum nipples.

Edwin : A great wheelset made with no sooke access holes. No tape necessary for tubeless! Light feeling and plenty robust even running low tire pressure to gain some comfort on my hardtail. The surface hardness is also surprisingly good. Barely notice and superficial wounds from some minor rock encounters. The DT hubs are solid! So good I'll buy from Light Bicycle again and again. Koko is knowledgeable and realistic!

Robert : Lightbycycle AM928 were my first carbon wheels and they've been perfect for years. First used on my mtb and now double as gravel wheels. Amazing versatility and dependability laced up to DT Swiss hubs. Ready for a second set for the road!!

Pablo : This wheelset has been bullet proof. Had them for over 4 years on my ‘Party Hardtail’ where as a 200lb rider I have ridden things that most folks would not attempt on anything but an endure bike.

Philip : Here are a few shots with the built wheelset. I used black spokes with your rims and your brass oil-slick nipples. Amazing products, and my only complaint is that I wish I had built these sooner!!
