Brake System This is a required option.

Road-Rim-High-TG-Surface-Grooved-Graphene-Surface

Non Disc - High TG Surface: Rim Brake 700C road rims use an advanced High TG resin system with a layer of graphene to help dissipate heat. The braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.

Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom braking track in other various weaves (UD/12K/3K twill etc) with 1-2 weeks LONGER on manufacture and extra $10USD/rim only as a start (with High TG Surface by default). 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.

Disc: The disc version does not have a rim brake track and features a unique disc specific layup process. Our new layup is about 10g ~30g lighter by reducing the unnecessary material and utilizing elements of our Flyweight construction method.

Non Disc - High TG Surface

Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface USD +30

Full Custom USD +10

Hole Count This is a required option.

Please note that our valves are drilled for presta and spoke holes are made for external nipples by default.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom drilling for any other hole counts or special drilling (e.g G3/ 2:1 etc), most of which are at no extra charge. 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.

Finish This is a required option.

Matte is slightly lighter and a more subtle finish (most popular). Glossy has a shine to it.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) 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 TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

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.

Hexa-Comb USD +15

Full Custom USD +15

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

Center Channel Hole & Nipple Hole This is a required option.

Center Channel Hole options:
1) With Access Holes: This is the traditional method. Spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel to allow the nipples to easily be fed through the rim. Tubeless tape is required to seal the rim.
2) No Access Holes: No spoke access holes are drilled in the center channel. Feeding the nipples through the rim is more challenging, but it allows for a tubeless setup without the need for tape. This kind of system is known as "road tubeless" or referred as 'UST style'. Currently, rims with 'No Access Holes' do not work with our carbon spokes.

Nipple Hole options:
1) External Nipple Hole is the commentional way drilled for external nipples and is the default standard for Light Bicycle rims.
2) Internal Nipple Hole is drilled for internal nipples('upside down/ hidden style'). This is optional for some Light Bicycle rims.

With Access Holes and External Nipple Holes

No Access Holes and External Nipple Holes

Decal This is a required option.

Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

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.

Add Valve Stem USD +7 each

Tubeless Tape This is a required option.

Add Tubeless Tape: A roll of 10-yard-long tape is provided separately as parts to do the favor for those who treasure the dirt in the hand and are passionate in DIY stuff.
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.

Add Tubeless Tape USD +6 each

Brake Pads This is a required option.

The results have been excellent, every single wheelset has been straight forward to build and perform just as good if not better than the famous brands (I've owned Zipp, Roval, Enve). The quality is excellent and customer service the same.

Jared : I have two sets of Light rims. One on my mountain bike, one on my road bike. Laced to White Industry's, I have a beautiful set of Custom R45 Hex-comb rims. They absolutely changed the appearance and ride of the bike overall! I opted for the grooved braking surface which makes a massive difference in braking power. overall excellent quality rim and super happy!! I also laced a set of of Recon Pro for my 29" FS mountain bike to Hadley Hubs, I am a big rider....6'3" 240Lb. and these have been taking a beating so far. Super happy again with the level of durability and performance. Add that Light has given me outstanding customer service, I have zero reason to buy any other wheel or rim. Thank you!!

COMMENTS

Mariano 2023/07/04

Hello, I am looking for carbon rims, and I have chosen the Falcon RIM R45 as my favourite. I need one with 20 and another one with 24 holes. On the pics they come with grey or red decals. When clicking "Buy" they are describes as non-printed. How are they delivered? What is the price for one rim? And I also have another question: I live in Europe - I read that tere is an option to buyx with the taxes prepaid. How can I manage it to put the order with taxes prepaid? Thank you for your respond. Best regards Mariano

LightBicycle 2023/07/04

Hi Mariano, Thanks for reaching out! 1. We have a few color options for the decals. What color do you prefer? I can send you some photos for ref. 2. The rim is USD164 each with standard high TG brake surface, and USD184 for graphene brake surface. We have some rims 700C rim brake in stock if you have a rather narrow time window. But all stock rims are without any decals. 3. Yes, we do have tax-prepaid delivery optional. You can check out the cost on the checkout page. I can also send you the order via email to save you some trouble if you like. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, Is it possible to have a 21 hole RRU45C02 rim? (rim brake falcon R45) Thanks Giovanni

LightBicycle 2021/06/08

Hi Giovanni, It is okay to manufacture the rim R45 rim brake 700C with 21H spoke holes. Are all spoke holes evenly spaced on the rim? Or 2:1 lacing pattern? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Asbjorn 2021/02/19

Hi, thinking about lacing a pair of r45 falcon to a set of da m7900 hubs I have (16h/20h). Will this be a good combo for me? I am 92kgs, and a recreational rider. What spokes/nipples/washers? Can you offer to match? Thanks asbjorn

LightBicycle 2021/02/20

Hi Asbjorn, 1. The R45 700C rim brake wheels would be a good fit for you, the max rider weight we recommend is under 130kg. But please make sure your frame spacing is ok with the 25mm width. Some road models are only compatible with narrow rims. 2. We don't use the washers for our wheels(our wheel spoke holes are durable enough), but you can use Sapim washers if you prefer to have washers while building if you do not mind weights adding. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Francesco 2020/05/29

I would buy a pair of R45 clincher rim to mount them with dtswiss 240s straightpull hubs, the spoke hole angle (+-6) is ok for this hub? Is safe to fit 23mm tires on these rims? Regards Francesco

LightBicycle 2020/05/29

Hi Francesco, 1. The R45 700C rims are ok to build with the DT Swiss hubs. Note that we only provide the new DT 240 EXP hubs and 350 hubs at the moment. Here's the most popular build for your ref. https://www.lightbicycle.com/site/share-cart?id=1573 2. The drilling angle makes the spoke align better and spoke tension balanced. 3. 23c tires would be a bit narrow for the 25mm wide rim. But the mounting varies from tires. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Dave 2019/12/02

Hello, I'm looking at your r45 rim in 20/24h. How wide is the rim at its widest point and how far is this away from the edge of the rim? I need to know for clearance. Is there any discount codes for black Friday/cybermonday? I want to place an order but I'll wait until the new year unless there is much reason not to. Thanks, Dave.

LightBicycle 2019/12/03

Hi Dave, You can see the widest area is 27.3mm at the middle of this road bike rim body area. We sent the rim profile to your email address. Please check. Does it work for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Steven 2019/10/23

I would appreciate your advice on primarily rim depth. I am after a set of rims for general road use. I am thinking of the Falcon RA46 or R45. I ride mainly on roads, at moderate speeds, with a variety of terrain including hills. My weight is 115kg, and I use rim brakes with 28 mm tyres. I dont race, and comfort is more important than speed but speed is still important. I am looking for a good stong general purpose set of rims.

LightBicycle 2019/10/24

Hi Steven, 1. Both our road bike rims AR46 (28mm wide, 46mm deep) and R45 (25mm wide, 45mm deep) are compatibile with 28mm tires. So you don't have to worry about the mouting. 2. Those two rims are with different shape as you might learn from the rim profile section (attach to you so you can compare. The R45 is with a more rounded shape, which leading edge allows for more attached airflow, which reduces drags and increases balancing side force. On the other hand, the AR46 is more of a V-shape like relatively. This provide better aerodynamics in no wind and lighter. You can choose the better fit rim base on how you goona ride and the location condition. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi there I am 185cm tall and weigh 87kg , I have a set of hope mono rs hubs 28/32 holes would these rims be ok for me with 28/32 holes or would the wheels be better with less spokes Thanks Wayne

LightBicycle 2019/02/02

Hi Wayne, Thanks for your inquiry! For road disc wheelset, most customers use front 24H/rear 24H, front 28H/rear 28H or front 24H/rear 28H. For front 28H/rear 32H, it is really strong enough for your riding. Don't worry. Thanks, Lightbicycle

James 2018/09/23

For US customers can I get the U45 in a 28 hole drilling? I on;y see that option for international buyers.

LightBicycle 2018/09/25

Hi, James Yes, you can have 28H rims from our North American warehouse if you like. Note that the reason why you cannot find the 28H at the North American warehouse is that we don't have stock for this rim. So the rim would be ordered to make from our factory and takes about 3~5 weeks. My suggestion is to order the rims you want directly from International (China )warehouse to save the time. Because we have last two 45C02 (25mm wide, 45mm deep with UD, matte, 28H, with brake surface ) in stock currently, which means you can get the rims in 7~10 days. We can discuss more details by mail. Please check with your inbox for our reply mail. Thanks Lightbicycle

Hi, Can you do road rims with hole for internal nipples ?

LightBicycle 2018/09/25

Hi, David Yes, we can drill for internal nipples. the spoke hole diameter would be 2.5mm. And we won't charge extra for this. If you like to order the rims online, you can leave a message during checkout. If you like us to handle this for you, we can discuss further details by mail. We already sent an e-mail to you, please check your inbox. Thanks Lightbicycle

Do these rims have groves on the brake surface similar to how other companies are doing it now to improve braking in all conditions? If not, are you planning on adding them in the future and when?

LightBicycle 2018/08/08

Hi Rob, Yes, we already have texture on rim brake surface on road rims. We will revise our website accordingly late this month or early September. Thanks, Lightbicycle

I'm interested in purchasing they U Shape 45mm rim (20h) and U Shape 55mm (24h) rim in 25 wide to build up with DT Swiss 240 hubs that I have already. I would like to use the Sapim CX Ray spokes for this build. I would like to get the spokes from you. Is there something specific you need to know about the DT Swiss 240 hubs tht I have so you can provide me the right spoke length? Also what will cost be for Sapim CX Ray spokes? Thanks, Adam

Good evening, Are the prices I'm seeing in my cart in USD or AUD? Thank You Trevor

I have a rear hub with an asymmetric spoking pattern - 16 spokes on the drive side and 8 spokes on the non-drive side. Can the angled spoke drilling be done to accommodate that (i.e. a 2:1 ratio of left-to right holes?).

LightBicycle 2017/07/11

Hello Sir, It is okay to drill 2:1 pattern for you. Are all the 24 spoke holes evenly spaced on rims? For attached two 2:1 drilling, which do you prefer? Thanks, Lightbicycle
