Ultralight Carbon Climbing Wheels, Hand-Built to Your Spec

Climbing carbon wheels from Light Travel Cycling are shallow-to-mid depth, lightweight wheelsets built for mountain stages and hilly rides, hand-built to order with your choice of hubs and spokes. Every wheel is tension-checked and trued before shipping, backed by a 5-year warranty.

Lighter wheels change how a bike feels the moment the gradient rises. We keep the layup optimized — not just thinner — so weight savings never cost durability.

Common Questions

What depth wheels are best for climbing?

Shallow to mid-depth rims (roughly 38–50mm) save weight and handle crosswinds better on exposed mountain roads. Our climbing line focuses on lightweight builds; every wheelset is hand-built and inspected before shipping.

Are lightweight carbon wheels durable?

Lightweight rims use optimized layups rather than less material in critical zones. Every wheel passes spoke tension, roundness and runout checks before shipping, and all wheelsets carry a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I get a climbing wheelset with my existing hubs?

Contact us with your hub model — we can advise whether a re-lace build is feasible, or recommend DT Swiss and Bitex hub options built into a new wheelset.
