Mike 2020/03/19

Hi LightBicycle Team, A query from an Australian potential customer: I am hoping to build up some wheels myself and need some rims. The ideal specifications would be: Clincher rim brake rims ideally tubeless compatible, U profile, UD Matt: Front around 38mm 20hole with a width of 25mm Rear around 50mm and 24hole with a width of 25mm If you have such rims, what would their specification (ERD, weight, cost)? Would it be cheaper to have a single wheel size for front and back? Can I also ask if I can buy straight pull spokes from you as well (CX Ray would be best)? I am planning on using a DTSwiss 350 front hub and a PowerTap GS rear hub Thanks for your help. Mike ( I like the format of your website by the way)

LightBicycle 2020/03/19

Then i can quote accordingly for you.It is okay to buy one single rim, but the shipping cost is not much saved for just buying one single bike rim.Yes, it is okay to buy spokes together with rims. For sapim cx-ray bladed spoke, it is USD2.4 each, and USD0.4 each for nipple. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello Light-Bicycle, I have a big curiosity about angled spoke hole. When I place an order, could I submit together which pattern I'd like to prefer??(like, front radial 18H, rear DS/NDS both 2cross 24H)

LightBicycle 2018/01/29

Hi Ricky, Regarding the spoke hole angle question Our symmetric rims are with +/-6 degree angled spoke holes. As you can see from attachment. Regarding the order question 1. If you have a specific requirement for lacing pattern or something else, You can leave messages to us when you check-out ( see attachment) 2. If the front rim and rear rim are with different specs, you need to order them separately. 3. Or you can save your trouble by sending your order details to us, and we'll quote accordingly (including shipping cost etc.) When you ready to order, we'll create an invoice to you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Ok, three more questions here. 1) Is it available to adapt "Stealth" decal like this --> https://scontent-icn1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/25487320_1365786163544053_5111077425893329672_o.jpg?oh=24ff0442fccd3ab19036be9d1a80f874&oe=5AD9CCD4 2) Which decal option I should choose if I want to get the "stealth" look decal above? Black? 3) I just found some examples on the internet, they are all "UD" and "Matte" finish rims. Is "stealth" decal available at "12K" finish rims??

LightBicycle 2018/02/01

Hi Ricky, It is okay to adapt the graphic that you like. It is stealth decal for road bike rims now. You can leave a message on the order if you like and also the color you like. Then we can double check with you. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, what is the smallest tubular recommended for the U shape 25mm rim? Is 22mm ok?

LightBicycle 2017/02/27

My weight is 83kg clothes. What spokes configuration should I choose for front/rear for everyday all round wheels? Regards

Light-Bicycle 2016/09/02

Hello Piotr, Thanks for your inquiry. According to your info, we’d like to recommend Sapim cx-ray spokes. It is our most durable bladed spoke. Its low weight, aerodynamics, and flexibility make it a popular choice for racing at all levels. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hello Pior, Normally, most of our customers choose 20H/24H. May I know your weight? Then we will double check if that works for you. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Nils 2015/09/08

Is the basalt braking surface a thin layer on top of the carbon or does it go deeper into the rim? I have lots of scratches on the brake track of my rims, probably from the truing stand ( I built them up myself). I am wondering if I managed to scrape off the basalt or if the damage is only cosmetic. Thanks

Light-Bicycle 2015/09/09

Hello Nils, Thanks for your contact. The braking goes deeper into the rim slightly. Would you please email us some pictures of the braking surface’s problem? Then we will check for you. Thanks, Light-bicycle
