Integrate more carbon fiber into your wheel build for greater stiffness and more speed. According to our latest lab test results, our Flyweight carbon spokes feature a significant increase in lateral stiffness compared to aero steel spokes, while keeping the vertical stiffness (hardness you feel over bumpy roads) within a tolerable range. For a high-performance wheel build, cycling safety is always a top priority. Our Flyweight carbon spokes feature a maximum tensile strength of up to 420kgf, much higher than industry safety standards.

For loyal riders looking to unlock performance upgrades within a budget, we introduce a special edition Flyweight carbon wheelset, pairing Light Bicycle Speed Hubs with exclusive Flyweight carbon spokes. The SE version enables you to enjoy an elite level of performance with aero carbon spokes, TPI ceramic bearings, and fast hub engagement. Discover more details of the latest Flyweight spoke wheelset-SE >>

All carbon spoke wheelsets from Light Bicycle are handbuilt by our most experienced wheel builders with tension balanced and stress relieved. Riders can mount up tires and start the first ride immediately after receiving the wheels. Three spare complimentary carbon spokes come with each order for easy replacement.

FAQs On Carbon Spoke Wheels

Are carbon spokes better than steel?

The carbon spokes are designed for riders who prioritize speed improvement over comfort and leisure. With a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio compared to steel counterparts, the carbon-spoke wheelset maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things lightweight. This means that a carbon-spoked wheel often feels more responsive and a bit harder than a steel-spoked wheel build.
What rims are compatible with the Flyweight spokes?

The Flyweight spokes are compatible with all road and gravel carbon rims of our lineup. On our online wheelset builder, we only list some of the most asked rim models. Feel free to let us know if you want to special order something different.
What’s new about the 2023 version?

As for the Flyweight wheelset SE, enjoy an elite level of performance with aero carbon spokes, ceramic bearings, and higher engagement (from 24-tooth to 36-tooth). We’ve also integrated a 5-year warranty and crash replacement coverage into the price of the hub, increasing the value and the post-order support you can depend on. The carbon spokes are aero-optimized with a 4.5mm wide elliptic aero profile, more competitive aerodynamically with the comparable bladed steel spokes. Discover more >>

Is it possible to make the AR56-30 wheels in a flyweight version? I weigh 73 kg.

LightBicycle 2024/04/30

Hi James, Thanks for your inquiry! Sorry for the late reply. It is okay to manufacture AR56 rims road disc 700C around 30g lighter for you. Does it work for you? What tire width and tire pressure will you ride? Do you ride aggressively? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi, I would like an ultra-light disc brake climbing wheelset. I'm 80kg, so no flyweight option, please. It would be AR25 Rim, Carbon Spoke with either Extralite SPD3 or CarbonTi. Can I get a quote with full specs for these builds?

LightBicycle 2023/10/09

Hi Sun, Thanks for reaching out! We have sent the quote through an email, please check it. Best regards, Light Bicycle

I want to use Flyweight Spokes (SE) But I want a rim-height wheel of 40mm to 50mm for a wheel set of less than 1400g Is this possible??

LightBicycle 2023/05/04

Hi Jeong, Thanks for your inquiry! May i know your weight? What is your tire width？ Do you like 700C road disc 40mm~50mm wheelset? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi I would like an ultra light climbing wheelset but I am 85 Kilos so no flyweight options. Berd Spoked no Depth Rim with Extralite hubs can you build that? Regards, Christopher Tan

LightBicycle 2023/04/18

Hi Christopher, Hi Christopher, Thanks for reaching out! Given the fact that you are looking for a climbing wheelset. Berd spokes won't be the best fit here. It would be too compliant. The stiffness would be a key to consider when it comes to climbing. So carbon spokes make more sense. The new flyweight carbon spokes are actually better in tensile strength compared to steel spokes. It provides better stiffness. And the butted version is lighter than Berd spokes in some cases like 270mm. It's 2.3g each and Berd spokes are 2.5g on average. Build with Extralite hubs, they would be super light. Have you figured out the rims you like to build with yet? 35mm would be a sweet spot for both climbing and tarmac. Or are you looking for our AR25 super lightweight wheelset? Thanks, Lightbicycle
