The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Nextie Hub Wheels, Built by Hand

Pick a Nextie hub, choose your rim, spokes and color, and we lace and true the wheel ourselves, one at a time, in our Georgia shop.

Why build your wheel around a Nextie Rollingstar hub:

  • Six hubs: Rollingstar II centerlock and fat bike, plus Rollingstar III Road
  • Build for road, gravel, touring, mountain, MTB single speed or fat bike
  • The builder offers only parts that fit together
  • Laced and trued one wheel at a time in our Georgia shop

How it works

From parts bin to your doorstep

  1. Pick your parts1

    Pick your parts

    Choose a Nextie hub, then the rim, spokes and nipples. The builder only offers parts that fit together.

  2. We measure and prep2

    We measure and prep

    Rim and hub are measured here: real ERD, real flange geometry. Spokes are cut to the length your build needs.

  3. Laced by hand3

    Laced by hand

    One builder laces your wheel on the stand. No machine builds, ever.

  4. Tensioned and trued4

    Brought up to even tension, stress-relieved, trued round and true, and checked again after it settles.

Specs, pairings and FAQ

Custom hand built wheels with Nextie hubs

Nextie's Rollingstar hubs are ratchet-drive hubs: straight-pull on the road and mountain versions, J-bend on the fat bike version. We sell them only as a front and rear pair inside a complete wheel set we build.

We lace Nextie hubs to the rim of your choice and build the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop - tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured flange geometry of your exact hub, not estimated from the model name.

Why Nextie hubs are different

  • Hubs from a rim maker. Nextie began making hubs in 2022, after deciding a wheel depends on its hub as well as its rim. It says riders were stuck between rising prices on high-end hubs and unreliable low-end ones, and the Rollingstar was its answer.
  • A ratchet picked by testing. For the Rollingstar II, Nextie tried more than 20 ratchet materials over a year and ran its choice through 100,000 rotations. It says the final alloy balances precision, hardness and weight in the part that carries your pedaling.
  • Attention to the ring and spring. Nextie reports that the outer gear ring meeting the ratchet passed a 1400N test. It also tried springs of different force, size and material to find the best performer.
  • Three engagement choices. The Rollingstar II road and mountain hubs come with 36 ratchet teeth, with 45 or 54 as upgrades. More teeth shorten the free travel before the hub picks up.
  • A fat bike hub that takes J-bend spokes. Fat bike riders asked Nextie for a lighter ratchet hub, so it made a Rollingstar II with 15x150 and 12x197 axles and 6-bolt rotors. Unlike the straight-pull road and mountain versions, it laces with J-bend spokes.
  • Rollingstar III for road and gravel. Nextie's own weight figures put the III well below the II. It specifies a 45-tooth ratchet and ceramic bearings, with Shimano, Micro Spline, XDR and Campagnolo N3W freehubs listed.

The Nextie hubs we build with

Nextie wheels are a build-to-order item for us. Email us with the hub you have in mind and we will spec the wheel with you - or ship us your own Nextie hub with the supply-your-own option in the configurator and we will lace it into a new rim.

What to pair with a Nextie hub

A wheel is a system: the rim decides the tire and the braking, the hub decides the drivetrain and the axle fit, and the spokes have to suit both. Start from whichever end matters most to you and the configurator will keep the other end compatible.

Popular Nextie hub and rim pairings

Rims our customers build with each Nextie hub, led by the pairings they choose most often in our build records since 2009. Every rim listed is in the builder today in a drilling and brake type that fits; tap a hub to start that build.

We also build with Nextie Rims, if you want the whole wheel from one maker.

Nextie custom wheel questions

Can you build a wheel with a Nextie hub I already own?

Yes. Choose the supply-your-own hub option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length for that exact hub. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.

Can a Nextie hub be relaced into a new rim later?

Yes, and it is one of the better arguments for a quality hub. When the rim wears out or cracks, send us the wheel and we will build the hub into a new rim with new spokes. Spokes are not reused - they have taken a set at the old rim's dimensions.

How long will my Nextie wheel take?

Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.

Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929 — you will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
