Lightweight Carbon Road Wheelset for Rim Brakes – Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo & XDR, Tubeless-Ready, Featuring Novatec, Hope or DT Swiss Hubs

Hand built carbon wheels to suit all needs.  I’ve listed 46mm and 36mm depth versions but other depths are available if you want something specific.  These rims use Toray T700 carbon fibre (as do the majority of carbon rim manufacturers) for it’s ideal combination of robustness and light weight.  You can read more about the quality control and manufacturing process here: https://www.lightbicycle.com/support/technology

The rims are 28mm external width (21mm internal) making them ideal for 25mm road tyres if you’re looking to optimise aerodynamics.  However, the wide, tubeless rims will also provide a great platform for wider cyclocross and gravel tyres, offering the ability to run lower pressures and much improved grip.

I can build these up to suit a range of budgets – starting from £650 with Novatec hubs and a combination of Sapim Laser (front wheel) and Sapim Race spokes (rear).  If you want out and out performance, you can spec DT Swiss 240 hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes. These will be a great all round wheelset, either in 36mm or 46mm depth. 

Please get in touch to discuss the best options to suit your riding.  

Example build weights are as follows (+/- a few grams, minus skewers):

Carbon 46, Novatec A291/F482, Sapim CX-Ray (20/24 spokes), Brass nipples – 1500g

Carbon 46, Hope RS4, Sapim Race / Laser (24/28 spokes), Brass nipples – 1600g

Carbon 36, DT Swiss 240, Sapim CX-Ray (20/24 spokes) – 1395g

Please see my guarantee that applies to these wheels.  I have confidence in my wheels but it’s nice to know you’re covered if anything goes wrong.

Wheels will be supplied with tubeless tape fitted, 60mm tubeless valves, carbon specific brake pads, and quick release skewers.

Any questions, please let me know.
