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.

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.

Glossy Crystal Painting (silver) USD +20

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.

Blank (No decal)

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.

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.

None

Add Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

Finish This is a required option.

The "Finish" relates to how the rim is coated or painted such as matte or glossy for the most common applications.

We name this kind of superior finish the paintless.

Kasper : I could immediately feel how the light and stiff rims of just over 250 grams accelerated quickly - especially on the flat sections where they also kept the speed well and even more so on the climbs.

Xc 924 are amazing rims. Laced them to i9 hydras with Sapim cx-ray spokes. First real climb and they deliver. Noticeable difference immediately. Rims are extremely light and stiff. Hub sounds great and wheels look and perform like professional ones.

Can you US shop build these wheels with silver spokes? Which if any would be available?

LightBicycle 2023/02/18

Hi Nick, Yes, we do have Sapim CX-Ray silver spokes optional. Can you tell me the configurations of the wheel so I can send you the order via email? The spokes are not listed online. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Sam 2023/02/05

Hi, Is it possible to put this rim on a Bitex 212 hub or a Hope RS4? In a 28/32 hole rim. I require a XC Rim but need 15x100mm & 135/QR spacing. Thanks Sam

LightBicycle 2023/02/06

Hi Sam, Can you tell me more about your riding condition and preference? XC924 29er XC rim is superlight, but it might not for all XC conditions. I would need more information to confirm this. May i know your weight please? Do you ride aggressively? Bitex 212 is the model of BOOST MTB hubs. So I don't think 135*QR is available. Will you consider other models instead? As for Hope RS4 hubs, we can get those for you. Which color do you want? Usually, black hubs are easier to access. I will confirm the lead time when I have all the details. Thanks, Lightbicycle
