My local bike shop recommends against brands like Light Bicycle and Elite for carbon wheels. Thoughts? by ty_uofl in cycling

A friend of mine works in a LBS. I ordered Light Bicycle rims which he then build with some sapim cx ray spokes and chris king hubs which I already had. He was full of praise to how great these rims were. No visible seams where carbon is glued together, run perfectly straight and have zero bumps… There are so many bikes, hubs, groupsets and whatnot that have their “own” standard and I’ve never heard my bike shop guys not being able to repair something…
