Anyone ridden Light Bicycle AR25d rims?

[proletariandan]

Hey all,

Curious if anyone has ridden these rims and how you like them? Someone on eBay has a lot of them and at that price I am pretty interested since I have a set of hubs that would work with them.

If anyone in the East Bay wants to split an order of 4, let me know, we can save a few bucks!

Man...what a price! I have them in 24h/24h for my road bike -- excellent rims at 250g!
If these were 24h, I would have bought them. You should go for it.

I have the WR gravel rims with solid rim bed built to DT Swiss hubs and steel spokes. I would not hesitate to use LB for rims or wheels based on my experience.

I've got a set of these. They are fantastic. Go for it!

I see there is a weight limit at 198lbs. I’m definitely not over that, but not to too far under it either. Wonder how they would hold up…

Good idea to look at total weight, you, dressed, with the bike, water, etc...BUT, use enough spokes, not uber light spokes, built well, proper and even tension, 'should' be OK..Another 'but' these are light rims..for about the same $, BTLOS, which are a little heavier=more durable..

Always the voice of reason for sure.

One nice thing is that these are shipping from the US.

If anyone in philly wants to split a set of them let me know as well!

Are you going to be buying up some of these to see how they build up? Could be a fun option for you to offer as long as riders are happy with the weight limit.
