Customer Review

2012-09-04

Robert :

Hello Light Bicycle! What means the "Tubeless Compatible" in your description? Simple Tape (Like "Yellow Tape") in the rim and ready or Is there more work or stuff necessary? And next, which spoke tension so you recommened? Best and many thanks in advance, Robert

2012-09-04

Support :

Hello Robert, For tubeless compatible, it means the rims can be used with tubeless tyre. We are manufacturers for carbon rims, currently, no tyre, inner tube and tape to some with rims. We will mail you once we have ordered them in stock. For spoke tension, you can use 85KGF to 120kgf while building wheels. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Can you make this wheel in a 50mm width? The fat tire MTB community needs a light rim that is also wide. Thanks!

Hi Nancy, Can you make me a pair of rims 375-380g with the outer layer only 12K matte over UD carbon?? Thanks, Joe

Greetings! I'm a rather heavy (100+ kg with gear) and aggressive rider. I've bent aluminum 32 hole 550gr rims before. I've read at MTBR that it is possible to have wheels made burlier to handle my requirements. What would you suggest?

2012-06-08

Support :

Hello sir, We can make the rim stronger, to be around 430g to 450g.We think it will be strong enough for you. Is it ok? Thanks, Nancy

Andrew :

Hi, I'm trying to decide between the standard or stronger versions of this rim, it would be for an enduro bike so I'm looking for something equivalent to a Mavic 321 or Stans Arch Ex rim if you're familiar with those. IE not quite downhill strength, but still strong. Can you recommend? Thanks again Andrew

2012-11-21

Support :

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your inquiry. You can use the stronger version(UD matte), it is around 400g for each rim. Is it ok? It is pretty strong. http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631704846817/detail/ Thanks, Light-bicycle

Eric :

Hi there, I am from Auckland, New Zealand and I would like to buy a pair of this wider mtb 26er carbon bike rim 26 inch rims(tubeless-compatible). With UD matte finish 32 holes and if possible with ENVE graphics on it. How long will it take to arrive in Auckland after i pay? How come it is only US$ 140 on ALIBABA website? Do you have the wider version available now? 35mm outer? And if i buy 4 rims will it be cheaper? Thanks and Regards, Eric

2013-01-12

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Eric, Thanks for your inquiry. The price for our wide 26er rim is USD150/pcs, not US/pcs. If we make enve logo on the rims, when the custom open to check the carton, the rims will be kept by the custom. So it will be better to make rims with your own logo design. Please find attached pictures for reference, you can let us know what kind of graphic you like, then we can make the graphic file for your reference. Is that ok for you? The lead time for 26er wide rims with logo is 7days to 9days, and 4days by TNT to arrive at New Zealand. Is that ok for you? Currently, we only have 30mm wide, no 35mm wide. The price is the same for 4pcs rims, we will offer a discount if the quantity is more than 10pcs rims. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Michael :

Hi, Are there any updates on the manufacturing improvement of the 26in wide carbon wheel akin to the 650B? I'm still seeing reports of rim failures and I'm wondering what percentage of rims are affected. Thanks.

2013-05-01

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Michael, Thanks for your suggestion. We do will use the new process for 26er wide rims, and we are still checking how new process perform on 650B rims. Once the customers' riding is good, we will start to change the process for 26er wide rims. For 26er wide rims, quite a few customers use stardard rims for DH rims. So, it causes the failure. Or ,we can make 26er wide rims much wider or deeper? Thanks, Light-bicycle

I see that these are rated for riders up to 130kg. Is this correct as I see that you recommend a heavier build for heavier riders. I'm currently 105kg and will be using them for all mountain riding. Should I get a heavier set or will the standard set suffice?

2013-01-25

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Steve,Thanks for your inquiry.And it is ok to make stronger version rims for you. If you ride aggressively, the stronger version will be better. The price is USD160/pcs.Do you like 3k/UD/12K? glossy or matte? The shipping cost for 2pcs rims to UK is USD50 by EMS.http://www.flickr.com/photos/light-bicycle/sets/72157631704846817/detail/Thanks,Nancy

Hi Nancy, I heard that you will probably be building the 26" wider rim using the new (manufacturing) process in the near future, once the 29" wheel was complete. Do you have any dates available for this, as I am currently waiting for the new rims to be available? Thanks, Warren

2013-02-22

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Warren, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, we still do not know when to start new process on 26er wide rims. Because the testing for 29er wide rims still haven't been finished yet. We will let customers know when we get the date. Thanks, LB

Hi, i'm looking your AM 26" rims, 32 hole, the 360gram version for All Mountain riding. In your opinion which is the best carbon to use, UD or 3k/12k? Is UD with a 3k final finish recommended? Shipping to Australia

2013-03-18

Light-Bicycle :

Hello Adam, Thanks for your inquiry. For different weave, the strength and weight is almost the same. Because, only the top carbon fiber layer different, all the inside carbon fiber is the same. UD matte and 3k matte is the most popular. The price for 26er AM rims around 360g, 32holes is USD150/pcs, so it is USD300 for 2pcs rims. And the shipping cost for 2pcs rims to Australia is USD38 by EMS.
