Hi, is there a weight limit on your rims? If so, do you plan to build no weight limit version?

2012-02-01

Support :

Hello Sir, the current weight limit for 29er rim is 95KG, but we can make heavier version specially for heavier riders. We can add more carbon fiber on rims, and make them stronger. Thanks.

Hi, i have been running the wider 29 rims for 5 months on my transition bandit. Not only do they sharpen the handling up, but i have hammered them on every type of terrain, including drop offs gap jumps, these rims are awsome. just keep a check on the spoke tension and they will withstand some serious abuse.Many thanks and Kind regards, Neil Raw.

Hello Neil, Thanks for your support. We are happy to hear that you like our rims. As i know, the wheelset has to be rebuilt after a few days riding. Have you tried to rebuild them? How does it perform? Thanks, Light-bicycle

Rainer :

Hi Neil, i am currently building up ma Bandit29 and would love to hear what kind of tire (width and brand) and what pressure you are running? If you are using tubeless, what kind of rim strip are you using? Thanks and kind regards Rainer

2012-11-20

Support :

Hello Rainer, Thanks for your inquiry. The width of our 29er rim is 30mm for the outer width, and 23mm for the inner width. Please find attached cross-section drawing. For tyre pressure, you can use 35psi to 50psi while riding. Our rim is tubeless compatible, you can use a kind of yellow strip on the rim, then use sealant, then the rim can be used tubeless well. Most of our customers use tubeless on our 29er wide rims. Here are more pictures of our 29er wide rims. http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hello Light-Bicycle, I plan to purchase at least one or two of your 29" carbon, mountain bike rims. However, I don't know which to choose.

Hello Ben, Thanks for your interested in our rims. The rim with deeper depth we manufacture for the USA customer belongs to that customer. He pays for the mold and designs for the mold.

I have built hundreds of wheels in the 18 years as a professional bicycle wrench. I am quite impressed with your product. I just finished build a set of your 29er AM hoops and these rims are a pleasure to work with. Noticeably stiff and built to exact tolerances. I am looking forward to putting them through the paces to verify they are as strong and responsive as I believe they will be. I will give progress report later in the season. Thank you for making consumer direct quality and pricing a reality. VERY NICE!

Josh :

Looking to get a pair of the wider 29er rims with the 3k matte finish. Is it possible to hand select rims that are on the lighter side, say 380-385 grams each.

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Josh, Thanks for your inquiry. It is ok to choose the rims around 380g to 385g for you. But it will take longer time to wait, because we have to get the correct weight for you. Is it ok for you? If yes, we can make the invoice accordingly for you. 29er wide 3k matte, 32holes, 380g~385g, right? http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hi, I would like to purchase two 29" wide rims in 28 hole around the 380 to 385 gram rim mark if possible. Out of the three lay ups which is the strongest and potentially lightest build? Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark, Thanks for your inquiry. It is ok to get 29er wide rims 28hole around 380g ~ 385g, but the lead time will be longer. We have to choose the light rims from the production line. Is is ok for you? And for 3k/UD/12k, the weight and strength is almost the same. Because all the inside carbon material is the same, only the outer layer different. So, there is no much difference. http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Trevor, It is ok to make 29er wide rims with one around 440g, and the other around 390g. You will use the stronger one for rear wheel, is that right? if you like to order, we can make the invoice accordingly for you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Are you using the new manufacturing process on all the 29" rims? Scott

2013-03-14

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Scott, Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, currently, some 29er wide rims are manufactured by new process. Most are still manufactured by the current process. Because we only make one mold for new process, until customers' riding test on new process is finished a few months. And the testing is good, the we will use new process for all rims. Now the production line is experienced with the current process. So, most are still manufactured by the current process. The new process is still being tested. If you like new process, you can let us know, then we can make a note on our order, and manufacture the rims accordingly. Is that ok for you? http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Hello, Please confirm if you make rims with profile/depth higher than 20mm? I'm interested with the new manufacturing process and specific mold. thanks yaya77FR

Light-Bicycle :

Hello sir, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, we only have 20mm deep for 29er rims. Is that ok for you? Please find attached cross-section drawing. And if you like rims with new process, we can make invoice for you. And make a note on the invoice that you like rims with new process. Then the production line will manufacture accordingly. Is that ok for you? http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

I too would like to see a deeper profile. Say, 30mm?

2013-04-11

Light-Bicycle :

Hello sir, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, we only have 20mm deep for 29er rims. And one of our customers are making 32mm deep 29er rims. And we will manufacture for him. You can order from him once the rims are ready to sell. He is in USA, and we do manufacturing for him. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Eric :

Hi There Can you please advise me of shipping costs to Vancouver Island, BC, Canada for a pair of 29er wide carbon rims? Also, does glossy finish offer any added strength over the matte finish? Cheers Eric

2013-04-08

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Eric, Thanks for your inquiry. The shipping cost for one pair 29er wide rims to Canada is USD50 by EMS. The price is USD165/pcs, so it is USD330 for 2pcs rims. And USD50 for the shipping cost. For 3k/UD/12k, it is only the top layer different. All the inside carbon fiber are the same. So the strength & weight is almost the same. UD and 3k is the most popular. And for glossy, it is clear coat painting. And for matte, it is a kind of other painting. Both of them are a kind of painting, no strength added. http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631717562968/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle
