And custom color painting is also available with added 15g/rim and extra $20USD/rim as a start.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sergei : It’s wonderful rims. Very light and very fast.

am724-carbon-wheelset-maxxis-ardent-race-2.35-tubeless-tires

Bernd : I was looking for a carbon wheelset for my 2014 Santa Cruz Nomad that I could build myself and found Lightbicycle through Ali Clarkson's wheel building instruction video. Getting in contact with Lightbicycle was easy and with their recommendation, I chose the AM724 (RM650BC19) rim with DT comp spokes (they were also helping me to figure out the right spoke length for the existing hubs that I planned to reuse). After ordering I was able to see the progress of the rim manufacturing process every step of the way, which I think is a very nice feature. Rims arrived and building the wheels was a breeze! The Maxxis tires went on the rim with a regular floor pump, which was a first for me - in the past I always had to use air boosts to seat my tubeless tires. I have ridden the wheels for about 300 miles by now and am really happy with their performance and stability - acceleration and stiffness are very good for the riding that I am doing.

COMMENTS

Gabriel 2024/08/26

Good day, I purchased a set of rims off you guys a few years ago and was hoping you still make those rims. These were 650b carbon with 24mm id and 30mm od and is 20mm high. I was hoping you have something similar if you don't make those anymore. I don't want to replace all my spokes (32x2) just because of this. Kind regards, Gabriel

LightBicycle 2024/08/26

Hi Gabriel, Sorry, the RM650BC02 rim is not available. What about the AM724 rim 650B? But it's not the same length as the RM650BC02 spoke. Is it okay for you? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Enrico 2019/11/25

Hi, I'm planning to build a wheelset for a gravel bike with 650b rims, Do you have a rim with 24-25 mm width around this weight (less then 400 gr) that can accept a higher pressure ( 50 psi)?thanks Enrico

LightBicycle 2019/11/30

Hi Enrico, Yes, we do have new 650b gravel bike rims that with 24mm inner / 30mm outer width, 35mm depth, you can see the rim profile from the attachment. The rim is with hook bead so it can take much higher tire pressure (under 130psi). Will this rim be the one that you are looking for? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Marc 2020/03/29

Which model gravel rim is that? I do not see any 650b matching that description but it is exactly what i am looking for!

LightBicycle 2020/03/30

Hi Marc, The 650b rim that mentioned in the comment area is the model 650B gravel (24mm internal/30mm outer width, 35mm depth). Will expecting available online soon considering many audiences fond of this asymmetrical 650b gravel rim already. We can work on invoice for you if you are ready to order. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Adam 2020/01/21

Is this rim available in a hooked profile? Or is there another model that is 650b, hooked profile, and similar depth (not width) of 24 mm?

LightBicycle 2020/01/22

Hi Adam, 1. What kind of riding you plan to do with AM724 (24mm internal/30mm outer width, 24mm depth) 650B gravel? The design intention for the rim is Cross Country and All-Mountain riding. Normally, you should ride under 40psi under that condition. So the hookless design is good enough to keep the tire well seated. 2. We do have a 650b gravel rim that is with a close rim profile to AM724 and with a hooked bead. The AR36-650B-disc is with 22.4mm internal / 29mm outer width and 36mm depth. Will the rim depth ok with you? Some people also use it as a cross country rim. 3. You can learn more about the gravel rim AR36-650B-disc on this page. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Jim 2017/10/24

I'm concerned with tires fitting correctly. Can you tell me how tall the sidewalls are from the bead seat to the top? Will the rim work for high pressure road plus?

LightBicycle 2017/10/24

Hi Jim, For AM724 rim, it is 5.5mm from the top of the rim to the bead seat. We recommend to use less than 40psi on AM724 rims. There will be a risk to have tire blow out problem if it is with higher tire pressure. We recommend our RG722 rim for you(as attached). It's 650b rim and hook design. Hook rim can run as much as 120 psi tire pressure. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Andrew 2017/04/21

Is the weight limit per wheel or for both? I assume bike rider bags

LightBicycle 2017/04/24

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your inquiry. The weight limit is for a complete wheelset. But it is just an approximate estimation. Sorry, what do you mean of “I assume bike rider bags”? The AM724 is design for gentle all mountain riding. Or we have a wider and stronger wheel 34mm width. May I know your weight? What is your riding terrain normally? Do you ride aggressively? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Andrew 2016/08/21

Can I put a 2.5 wide tire on this rim?

Light-Bicycle 2016/08/22

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your inquiry. The recommended tire width for AM724 are 2.0''-2.4''. In theory, the rim is able to work with 2.5'' tire also. May I know what your riding terrain is normally? Do you ride aggressively? What is your weight? Then we will double check which rim is more suitable for you and quote accordingly. Because we have some wider rims worked with 2.5’’ tire well. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Andrew 2016/08/22

Ok thank you for replying. I am a very aggressive rider, and are terrain is very lose dirt, I weigh 110 lbs and I already bought these rims and they are great.

Light-Bicycle 2016/08/23

Hello Andrew, We are happy to hear that you like our rims! You can email us at sales@lightbicycle.com We can reply your questions directly through email. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Andrew 2016/08/23

I assume that when you say asymetric you mean that the spoke holes are offset from center. If so how many mm are the holes offset?

Light-Bicycle 2016/05/20

Hello Dennis, Thanks for your inquiry. The asymmetrical rims are with 2.6mm offset. Rim profile attached is for your reference. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Dvae 2016/03/20

I just purchased the AM724 (650B). Going to build them up with Industry 9 torch hubs. Can you tell me the right spoke length? Thanks! Dave

Light-Bicycle 2016/03/21

Hello Dave, Thanks for your support. For spoke length, it also depends on the spoke pattern you use. The AM724 rim ERD is 553mm. You can use below link & attached picture to get correct spoke length. http://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator/ You have to fill in rim ERD 553mm, choose the I9 hubs and spoke pattern. Then you can get correct spoke length. Or you can calculate the spoke length once getting the rims, to ensure the correct length you order. Thanks, Lightbicycle
