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.

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.

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.

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.

No Drain Holes

Decal This is a required option.

The new graphics are included and available in 7 colors. The decals are now easily replaceable so you can keep your rims looking fresh.

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.

light-bicycle-rm26c06-best-26-inch-wheel-mountain-bike

Karluschka : Some time ago, I ordered the widest 26 inch rims available. UD matt finish, custom valve drilling 8.5 mm for schrader valve, no decals. I laced the wheels myself with cx rays and DT240/Lefty hub and mounted on my ancient cannondale rush 2006 (I suppose). Tires are Continental mountain kings 2.3, tubeless. Overall tire width is more than 60 mm, exactly as I wanted, BTW wider does not fit into the frame and fork. Now it's more than one year without any issue, the rim-tire combination is excellent for light trails, allowing 1.5 bar pressure or less, lacing went smooth. Many thanks to Light Bicycle guys who make my setup possible. These rims are exactly what I dreamed of for years. This is not my first order, and if I need some time for new rims, it will be surely also Light Bicycle.
