Light Bicycle has definitely pushed wide gravel rims to the max! These AG48 carbon rims are 35mm internal, 48mm external and 48mm deep, yet only weight 460 grams. Just built this pair up for a customer. With a 45mm tire they are super close to the ideal 47.25mm for an optimal 105% more rim width.

We’re ready to help you build your new jammer! This gravel/light touring rim brake Cherubim uses 650b wheels and has internal routing for a 1x drivetrain. And we just hand built these Sim Works Standalone rims on vintage king hubs to start the project. by @swellbicycles

GGP CX FTW.

A few images from the summer series finale put in by @obf415cc and @swellbicycles … how lucky are we to have this. Thanks to all who contribute, ride, organize and cheer.

I brought my little camera with just a 28mm lens this time. Fun to explore the light and dust with a different set up not intended for action sports.

Great to see you all of you legends.

In 2022, Candlestick was my first @obf415cc race. It’s the sketchiest spot, next to the bones of an old stadium and on top of an old landfill. Gravel turns waiting to take your front wheel, glass and rocks everywhere, a plank ride down stairs, and it’s a hike to get to. The challenge this week was to pass as many folks as I could and woof did they make it hard. 65 folks passed, many smiles had, and we have one more race this summer. Thanks @swellbicycles and Jimmy for the belief in this silly sport. It’s crazy that 75 people is a small turnout now. Big ups to all the tagged folks who have me on the fastest everything as we look towards the fall. by @swellbicycles
