Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 4 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

24T - Made out of hardened steel as e-bike specific.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter. More precise contact makes a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.
LB Thrust-4 Carbon - The Thrust-4 Carbon spokes are designed to boost high tensile strength. The 4mm all-road profile ensures great crosswind stability.
Berd PolyLight >> - It is constructed from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and are widely considered to be the lightest bicycle spoke option in the world.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Rear Wheel Dishing Pattern This is a required option.

Overview

With a 45mm depth, 25mm external width, and 17.9mm internal width, the R45 disc wheelset combines high-end carbon material with optimized aerodynamic features.

The R45 disc wheelset has been popular for road riding and racing. It's light enough to accelerate and climb, while its aerodynamics make you feel like you have an added gear at race speeds.

Our technicians have conducted in-depth tests on the road and in house to refine the rim in terms of rolling and longevity. Its precision-crafted shape means higher speeds with less effort, making you faster everywhere.

light-bicycle-r45-carbon-fiber-wheels-on-canyon-ultimate-cf-sl-road-bike

Lukas : I love those wheels. I have them since February, been riding them for about 4000km, without any issues. The spoke tension and centricity is still super, I am quite a heavy rider (96 kg at 197cm), I had other wheelsets from other more known manufacturers that had to be serviced after a short time. All in all a very high-quality wheelset for a super affordable price.

Hi, Just wondering if you’re able to get purple hubs, either Chris king or bitex would be fine. I see that option isn’t listed in your builds. Thanks

LightBicycle 2021/10/11

Hi Adam, Currently, we do not have purple road disc hubs in stock. is it pink I9 Torch hub working for you? For purple hubs, they are boost size in stock now. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Can I order your disc wheelset as a QR configuration?

LightBicycle 2020/05/18

Hi Ronny, Of course, we can do QR (Quick-Release) for the disc wheels 700C for you. Normally, it is front 100mm QR/ rear 135mm*QR for road disc. Is this what you are looking for? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Can you match the spec of enve 4.5 on your weels?

LightBicycle 2020/02/21

Hi Bert, Yes, we do have rims that close to the SES 4.5. Do you like 28mm wide/32mm wide wheelset? You can choose front 32mm wide WR45/ 28mm wide AR56 for your road disc wheels? https://www.lightbicycle.com/700C-32mm-wide-45mm-deep-carbon-road-disc-rim-clincher-New-Gen-Aero-Shape-tubeless-compatible.html https://www.lightbicycle.com/Road-bicycle-disc-rims-30mm-wide-56mm-deep-aero-clincher.html Thanks, Lightbicycle Thanks, Lightbicycle
