They didn't, but if I remember correctly, last year's discount was officially only available for the Weekend around Black Friday.
If you need something, I wouldn't hesitate to just contact them. They reply quite fast if you catch them while working hours, this morning it just took them 5min to reply to my questions. They send you a link to their site with a customized offer, from there ordering/payment is just like with a regular order.
I guess by ordering now, you can also avoid longer production times that may occure around Black Friday sales.
Just email the order you want, they'll refund the 10 percent on non pro and 15 percent on pro rims when the site offers the discount too. Saves you a few weeks of waiting too. (huge order spike as soon as the site mentions the discount).
Which tires are you running that give you 27mm inflated width on AR56s? I'm planning to use some AR56s on an older frame with tight clearance, so I'm looking for tires (preferably tube-type) with an inflated width of 26-27mm max. (LB quotes the AR56 as 28mm external/21.6mm internal.)
is the wavy rims a gimmick? someone said zipps nsw test like 10 watts slower actually cuz of it. im looking to build the best rims for 1200 ish for hilly terrain. idealy an all rounder so i can sell my hyper d33 and just have one set of rims. hyper d45 is 46 front 56 rear which i may just get instead of building something from LB but wanted to hear opinions. will go on gen 7 madone so frame already super aero just want something light and decently aero and stable in winds

Black Friday/Cyber Monday officially announced: https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter ... -2022.html
Cadex race 25. Not the best tyres rolling resistance-wise but quite grippy and came with my Giant TCR when I bought, so I'll probably keep them til I have to change them.Biff66 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:54 pmWhich tires are you running that give you 27mm inflated width on AR56s?

GP5000 25c should be 27mm actual on a 21mm internalBiff66 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:54 pmWhich tires are you running that give you 27mm inflated width on AR56s?

Which option would that be ?
Here’s the build
HUB-F DT SWISS 240 EXP Black 12 / 100mm straight pull Center lock 24H
HUB-R DT SWISS 240 EXP Black 12 / 142mm straight pull Center
AR465d Flyweight Hook UD Paintless Disc 24H With Drain Holes With Access Holes 5 Years
Grey Laser Engraving (Falcon Pro); 15% BF off
$1485 > $1265 with the 15% off , I’m back and forth if this is worth it over the $980 quick buy set with the race carbon spike and LB speed hub. They say their hub is comparable to novatec and said the dt would be more reliable lol

Yeah, mine came out at 26.5mm, so perfect width for the rule of 105.Edopizzo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 11:25 amGP5000 25c should be 27mm actual on a 21mm internalBiff66 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:54 pmWhich tires are you running that give you 27mm inflated width on AR56s?
