Nextie Rims Custom Hand Built Wheels
Custom hand built wheels with Nextie rims
Nextie moulds its carbon rims in Xiamen, China and sells them direct, which is why the range is so deep: cross-country, trail and downhill MTB, road, gravel and fat-bike profiles, most in a lighter Supreme and a tougher Premium layup. We supply Nextie rims only as part of a wheel we build, so every one is laced, tensioned and trued here before it ships.
We lace Nextie rims to the hub 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. You pick the hub, spoke gauge and color, nipple material and lacing pattern; we make sure the combination is one that can actually be built.

Every Nextie rim we build with is carbon. That gets you a stiffer, lighter wheel, and it means the rim is a lifetime part rather than a consumable - provided the wheel is built to an even tension so no single spoke ever loads the rim bed on its own.
Internal width is the number that decides your tire. The Nextie rims we carry sit mostly in the 21.0-58.0mm band, and that band is what determines the tire sizes that will take a sensible shape on the rim - too narrow and a big tire rolls on the sidewall, too wide and a small tire is left square and harsh. Tell the configurator what tires you run and it will steer you inside the right band.

What to pair with a Nextie rim
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.
We also build with Nextie Hubs, if you want the whole wheel from one maker.

Nextie custom wheel questions
Can you build a wheel with a Nextie rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own rim 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 rim. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
What tire width suits a Nextie rim?
The Nextie rims we carry are mostly 21.0-58.0mm internal, which covers most modern tire choices for their intended use. Tell the configurator what you ride and it will keep you in a sensible tire-to-rim ratio rather than leaving you to work it out.
Is a carbon Nextie rim worth it over aluminum?
It buys stiffness and lower rotating weight, and the rim itself should outlast several aluminum rims. The trade is repairability: an aluminum rim can often be trued back from an impact that would end a carbon rim. If the wheel is for winter training or loaded touring, that matters.
How many spokes should a Nextie wheel have?
It depends on your weight, the terrain and the rim, not on the brand. The configurator recommends a count from your bike type and rider weight, and will not offer a count that cannot be laced to the parts you picked.
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.
