I have no real need or use for them, and yet they tempt me.
Back, foul hobby! I must ride, not shop!
My light-bicycle 28mm wide by 46mm deep rims just arrived today. Let the temptation continue. I plan on building these with White Industries CLD hubs and Sapim CX-Sprint front spokes and Force spokes in the rear. I got mine with no brake track because I have disc brakes, but they also will build this with a brake track if you specify it during ordering.
Light-bicycle would build and sell a complete wheelset, but I wanted a drilling and hubs they didn't have, so I got just the rims and will build up the wheels myself.
These are my first carbon rims, but I have to say they look fantastic. Flawless. I had my hopes up that these would arrive and at least appear to be a good product, but I have to admit they look way better than I'd imagined.
I got them with the glossy clearcoat, the black version of their logo (I think of it as ninja mode), and the 3K weave outer layer. You can get them with no logo if you want, but I didn't mind people knowing what wheels they were, I just didn't want the logo to overpower the look of the bike with something huge and bright.
Light-bicycle advertises
these rims as weighing 460g +/- 15g. One of them weighed in at .46kg on my fish scale, the other one came in at .47kg, so just as advertised.
