Those are white. Stealth would be a black LB logo by the valve steam and black accent lines opposite.

Rides4Beer

Here ya go, highlighted the area of the valve decal that is represented in the larger logo.

Sy Reene

Thanks! But I'm hopeless. I'm still not seeing a LB in what you highlighted, or the is logo not supposed to show lettering?

Something this fork in the thread made me realise...was just how understated their graphics depatment went. No SCREAMING LOUD CAPITAL LETTERS LOGOS, for once.

Those are stealth, not white. Stealth logos are grey, not black.

Marcus_Ti

Huh...not sure what mine are then . The logos are black....and actually, hard to photograph, looking through my photos the best they turned out was fresh out of the box.

noodle soup

looks like black logos to me..

Pricing on these seem to be really good. Very tempted to get some 46mm with Novatec for a solid budget race wheel.

Sy Reene

Interesting question.. per LB ordering pages, there is no "Black" option, just stealth or white.

noodle soup

I don't think you'll find a better wheelset for the $$$

Sy Reene

Hmm. I wonder if you got the 'stealth' decal they're supposed to use if you spec a glossy finish for the rims, and they have a different 'stealth' decal for rims specced as matte?

Marcus_Ti bought his from the North American distributor, and they specify that all wheels come with black decals standard. Robbyville also has black decals on his wheelset(ordered from the NA distributor).

Ugh, I told myself (and more importantly, my partner) that I wasn't going to buy new wheels so soon after getting a new bike so I could at least space out the upgrades, but this thread is making it very difficult to keep my word!

Sy Reene

ahh.. that explains it. You'd think that the NA rim product comes from the same factory (in asia?) with clearcoat already applied, so curious that black isn't therefore available from the Global site too.

noodle soup

It probably is available upon request.

Rides4Beer

Definitely. Aside from the great quality and value, I think they have some of the best graphics out there, and I'll admit it, aesthetics matter.

Marcus_Ti

That would do it, forgot about that.

Just found this thread and figured I'd register and throw in my experience.

I bought their RR46C02 wheelset.
Went with DT Swiss 240s, Rim Brake, 20H/24H with the 36 Tooth upgrade, Sapim CX Ray Black J-bend with Brass nipples.

Of course in my haste to get test them out I had mounted the tires before weighing them.
I've mounted Continental GP5000 28mm Clinchers on them which at 45 front 55 reare PSI measure to around 29.30mm.
I weigh around 138lbs.
Speaking of, mounting the tires, rolling them on wasn't too difficult but for me levers were a necessity and it definitely can be tricky and frustrating.

I've got about 500 miles on them and absolutely love them so far, they feel fast and sound amazing when brought up to speed.
Aesthetics aside I find the ride to be much more comfortable and enjoyable, they feel and handle really well.
For me I found they like to hold around 20mph with relative ease.

I have a few pictures I could share once able to.

Just pulled the trigger. My rainy day drip savings hit the right number, and someone has a bday coming up:

RRU45C02 (45x25 U shape, graphene brake track)
Novatec hubs (because Campy and these will be 98% dry weather wheels)
Sapim X-Rays
Stealth logos


Pics when they arrive...

Anybody else find their web site/order form ( https://www.lightbicycle.com/) to be tricky to navigate? I choose a wheelset (700C Falcon rims, 55 mm deep, etc.) and then as I choose options, wonky things happen (e.g., I choose non-disc brakes, then make some other choices, and the option for non-disc brakes disappears; as I make other selections -spoke type, spoke count, etc, -other, selections I have made vanish, so that I can never complete the form) . Is it a browser issue? I'm using an up to date version of Chrome on a Macbook.

Or is it possible I'm somehow choosing unavailable combinations?

Likely, I'm doing something stupid.

If your birthday is around 5/15, you'll have a sweet present.

I haven't seen this problem, but if you are having issues with their website, I'm sure they will respond to an email quickly.

deepakvrao

Never had an issue, and I have navigated that website a number of times. In fact one of their FAQ links was not working and when I pointed it out, they had it set right in a few hours.

Sy Reene

No, it's not you, it's the website (Global one anyway). Things like the spoke count change depending on the axle type. Or (eg with DT350), if you select 28H for the front wheel, the 28H option for the rear wheel immediately disappears, etc.. Some stuff is wonky.
