R&D: Your Feedback Matters
Product Engineering
Market trends, updated industry standards, and
customers’ advice are great resources for us. We meet
every other week to filter all the comments and advice
addressing what’s in need and deal with the most
mentioned and feasible ideas first.
Lab Testing
The market requires more safety, which is product
testers’ responsibility. When a prototype is introduced
we conduct a series of destructive and non-destructive
tests to gauge the structural performance of the new
diameter and explore the impact limits.
Production: Quality Is Top Priority
Manufacturing
From material cutting, rim layup, molding, hole
drilling, to detailing and finishing, we have
established a traceable system to record who has
completed each step in the manufacturing process. We are
very involved and proud of what we are making.
Quality Inspection
We perform quality control at each stage of the
manufacturing process. Weight control is essential for
super-light rim makers, and weight measurement is a
routine at the end of each stage.
Customer Support: Help You Get the Best Suited
Order Placement Assistance
Great listening skills and well-trained
knowledge of our products are the basic
requirements of our salespeople.
Cooperating with our North American
team, we achieve an almost 24-hour
online service to be more responsive to
your needs and help you choose the best
suited.
Warehouse Processing
We are responsible for receiving and
processing incoming stocks, final
quality inspection, wheel building, and
the packing and shipping of orders.
Every Light Bicycle rim has been
carefully inspected from finish to
trueness; every wheelset has been well
laced, stress relieved, and trued before
packing.
After-Sales Customer Service
Our attention to detail continues after
the sale, with shipping address
confirmation, shipment tracking, and
warranties. We are here to listen and
troubleshoot. We believe in striving to
provide the best service, and that means
always improving.
Web Development
We want to build a more user-friendly
website to improve your shopping
experience, increase your access to
cycling-related info, and include you in
new launches. If you have any questions
or suggestions regarding site design,
products, and blog content, please let
us know in the comments.

I’m interested in kids bike rims painted but no spokes
LightBicycle2024/12/06
Hi Jim,
Yes, it is okay to order only rims with painted!
Could you tell me the age, height, and weight of your child? What type of cycling styles are they interested in? What size of bike rims are you considering? And what color would you like to paint for rims?
Please check the attachment. This is the crystal painting color we have made before. Do you like it? Or if you have other colors, you can provide the Pantone color number and we can check whether it is feasible.
There is a review from our other customer. Maybe it can give you some idea~

Have recently received my AM 927's with I9 Hydra hubs. Have only done about 200K on them so far, but will note: (1) your rim set up for tubeless was excellent. No air leaks at all when rimming the tires...they held air for 3 days before I deflated and added sealant. Nice clean job. I've ridden on mixed terrain so far, so mid - high tech, trails. etc, and they really hold up well. Many more KM to put on them, but for now I am an fan!

Hello, I am very interested in purchasing a built wheelset from you. I was just wondering if it was possible to get alloy nipples in other colors than red or black. I would really like silver nipples... Please let me know either way.
Thanks!
-Simon

Hi Simon,
Yes, we have aluminum nipples in various color options, like black/silver/gold/orange/purple/red/purple. So, it is okay to get silver nipples for you.

I have a 2016 Cannondale FS-I Carbon 3 with the Lefty 2.0 fork. I want to order a set of your XC 925 wheels but not sure exactly how to configure them. I would like to have the lightest most economical configuration possible.
I look forward to you feedback.
'Sincerely,
LightBicycle2019/03/20
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your inquiry!
We can get project 321 lefty 2.0 hub to build on XC925 29er XC wheelset for you.
For rear hub, is it 12*142mm? sram XD or shimano 10/11S? For rear wheel, is it AI 6mm offset? Do we need to build rear wheel with 6mm offset for you.
Thanks,
Lightbicycle
