Introducing Our Rim Graphics Options
When customizing your Light Bicycle rims or wheelsets, you can choose from four distinct graphics options: Stickers, Waterslide Decals, Laser-Engraved Graphics, and Nanobond Coating. Each offers unique benefits in aesthetics, durability, and cost. The following breakdown will help you determine the best choice for your needs.
| Rim Compatibility | Appearance & Durability | Customization | Price | Lead Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stickers | Falcon Pro (Road) and MTB rims | Easy to apply and replace, available in various colors | Broad range of colored stickers, LB logo stickers only | $4-6 USD each | Typically 1-2 days |
| Waterslide Decals | Painted rims (non-Pro series) | Thin, paint-like finish, smooth integration with the rim surface | Customizable; many single colored and multi-colored decals | At least $78 USD each | Typically 1-2 weeks |
| Laser Engraved Graphics | Paintless rims (Pro series) | Permanent, high precision, subtle grey finish | Subtle grey color only; designs are highly customizable | $5 USD each | Typically 1-2 days |
| Nanobond Coating | All rim series | High-resolution, durable, resistant to weathering | Highly customizable with a broad range for both single colored and multi-colored graphics | $25 USD each | Typically 1-2 days |
Stickers
Stickers offer the easiest and most flexible way to customize your rims. They are simple to apply and remove, allowing riders to change designs without a long-term commitment. Choose to have them pre-applied at our factory or apply them yourself after delivery. Available in various colors and finishes, stickers are ideal for those who frequently update their bike’s look. However, they may wear over time due to exposure to the elements. Click here to explore our two sticker options.
Waterslide Decals
Waterslide decals offer a sleek, integrated look, seamlessly blending into the rim’s painted surface. This technique requires professional application and provides greater durability than stickers. It supports multi-color designs and is compatible with all our rims. With a protective clear coating, waterslide decals provide enhanced longevity and a premium finish.
Laser-Engraved Graphics
Laser engraving is a high-end, permanent customization option exclusive to our Pro series paintless rims. The process uses a laser beam to etch the design directly onto the rim surface, creating a precise, permanent graphic. The engraving does not affect the rim’s structural integrity, and since no additional materials are used, it is an eco-friendly choice. Laser-etched graphics offer a subtle, premium grey-toned finish. Click here to see some examples from our riders.
Nanobond Coating
A proprietary bonding process fuses specialized polymers at an ultra-refined scale, forming a resilient surface layer. Its adaptive structure manipulates light interaction to produce diverse hues without relying on traditional pigments. The coating hardens autonomously under ambient conditions, ensuring seamless adhesion across irregular shapes. Ideal for those seeking both striking aesthetics and exceptional durability.
