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.

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.

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.

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

The Flyweight is a new series of wheels from Light Bicycle. Targeted specifically towards racers who seek every possible edge on the race course. Our goal was to produce the lightest possible wheel without sacrificing performance.

Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and countless revisions in each step of the manufacturing process, we are able to produce a strong and stiff XC wheel while dramatically reducing the weight.

Construction: We used a special uni-directional pre-preg with a very low fiber areal weight. This is an exclusive process to our Flyweight rims. To further reduce the weight we used a blend of Toray T700 and T800 specific layups. We opted for a new subtle ultralight waterslide graphic in glossy black with a matte finish overtop in the spirit of keeping these as true cross country race oriented wheels.

Lee 2020/10/01

I am interested in the RM650BC09 for gravel touring. Will that rim work with 47mm tires at up to 40 psi? If not, what is the max pressure? thanks.

LightBicycle 2020/10/02

Hi Lee, Thanks for your inquiry! For our RM650BC09 wheelset 27.5 er, it is okay to ride under 60PSI. The max tire pressure is 60PSI.So, if you ride 40PSI, it works. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Any chance you could do a front wheel with a Cannondale Lefty hub?

LightBicycle 2020/08/13

Hi Josh, Yes, we can build a front 650B wheel with a lefty hub for you. Are you referring to lefty1.0 or supermax 2.0? We can do both. A few brands optional, Tune, Carbon-Ti, Industry Nine. Which will you prefer? Please let me know if your ideal hub is not listed above. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi - Can I fit an 11-speed Ultegra cassette on this wheelset? Thx, mathieu

LightBicycle 2019/10/03

Hi Mathieu, Thanks for your inquiry! Do you have the 11-speed Ultgegra cassette model NO.? Then we can check whether it is shimano MTB10/11S or shimano road 11S. Yes, we can get RM650C09 650B wheelset with correct free hub accordingly for your cassette. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Shane 2019/03/04

Hi, I'd like to purchase two 650bc09 rims please. The flyweight version in 24 hole and 32 hole. I work at Bicycles NYC in new york city and we are a light bicycle dealer. Can you help me purchase these rims please? I'd like the unidirectional carbon matte rims. Thank you. Shane.

LightBicycle 2019/03/05

Hi Shane, We only recommend using the flyweight version of RM650BC09 on the 650B front wheel. But if you insist, I can make the order for you anyway. What kind of riding do you plan to do? The flyweight rim was designed for light XC riding. If you are a heavy rider, I would suggest you go with the standard version rim on the back. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Gary 2018/01/25

Hi, I'm interested in a pair of 650B standard XC wheels. I wish to fit these wheels to my Cannondal Habit which requires the rear wheel to be dished 6mm to suite the Ai (Assymetric Intergration) set up. Can you produce the wheel to suite my need and will this cost any extra money? Thanks

LightBicycle 2018/01/26

Hi Gary, Yes, we can build the requested AI rear wheel for you. In fact, we have built several of our customers before. And we won't charge extra for the special wheel building requirement. Thanks, Lightbicycle

peter 2017/06/27

Hi, Are the prices quoted in AUD or USD? Would you recommend the 27mm or 30 mm width for 2.6 inch tyres. Is it possible to write an invoice of less thanr 1000AUD for customs? Many thanks Peter Pridmore

LightBicycle 2017/06/29

Hello Peter, Thanks for your inquiry. Our web prices are in USD. Below are the recommended tires width for both rims. I think the 30mm width rim is more suitable for 2.6’’ tire. Or may I know what your riding terrain is normally? Do you ride aggressively? What is your weight? Then we will do some recommendations and quote accordingly. 27mm width rims: 1.9’’ ~ 2.3’’ 30mm width rims: 2.0’’ ~ 2.4’’ Yes, we can declare the value under AUD1000, then you don’t need to pay the tax. Don’t worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle
