## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is a 30mm inner width carbon rim suitable for endurance road and gravel cycling?**

Yes. A 30mm internal width supports tire widths from 28c to 45c at optimal inflation volume, reducing rolling resistance and improving compliance on rough surfaces — well-suited to endurance road and light gravel use.

**Are 36mm wide carbon rims compatible with standard road bike frames?**

Most modern road and endurance frames with 40mm+ rim clearance accommodate a 36mm outer-width rim without contact. Always verify your frame's stated maximum tire/rim clearance before ordering.

**What is the weight of an ultralight carbon road rim at this spec?**

The Ultralight tier of this rim weighs 385 ± 10g per rim. The Extreme Light option reaches 365 ± 10g. Both are achieved through selective carbon layup reduction; the Standard 445g tier is recommended for heavier riders or frequent training use.

**What makes this rim suitable for tubeless setup?**

The UV hooked bead profile seals tubeless tires securely within the 100–125 psi pressure range. The 6.5mm valve hole accommodates standard tubeless valves, and the rim bed geometry supports tubeless tape installation.

**Can I order custom hole diameters or nipple angles?**

Yes. Assembly hole, valve hole, and spoke hole diameters are customizable. Nipple direction options beyond the standard 7° front / 5°–7° rear are available on request for OEM and team orders.
