Convergence We Are 1 Revive Carbon Rim
The We Are One Revive 2.0 is the all-round trail rim in the range, laid up and molded by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia: a fast, quiet, efficient rim with the impact resistance of the Convergence profile and a layup tuned for the rider who wants one wheelset for everything from long climbs to rough descents. It carries the lifetime warranty and takes standard J-bend spokes.
This page covers the Convergence We Are 1 Revive Carbon Rim in 29in. The Revive is sold here only inside a wheel we build: choose the hub, spokes and nipples in the configurator and the finished wheel ships from Georgia, laced, tensioned and trued by hand.
Design and construction
The company does something almost nobody else does: it lays up every rim by hand in its own factory in Kamloops rather than buying molded rims from Asia, and the Convergence profile is the result of being able to iterate on its own tooling. The rim wall is not a smooth arc but a series of shallow curves that alternate at 7.5 degrees to match the angle each spoke leaves the rim, which stiffens the spoke bed and lets the rest of the section stay thin and compliant. ZRT films in the layup add impact strength without adding weight. The bead is hookless and tubeless, the nipples external, the spokes standard J-bend.
How it rides
A Revive wheel is quiet, efficient and forgiving. It rolls fast, it damps trail chatter the way these rims do, and it takes the hits of everyday trail riding without complaint. For enduro the Triad is stronger; for cross-country racing the Whisp is lighter. For an all-round trail wheel, the Revive is the We Are One rim we recommend.

This version
This version is the Revive in 29in, drilled 28h, about 360g, 25mm inside, 19mm deep, disc. Where the same rim is sold in another size or brake type, that is a separate listing with its own page.
The disc version of the Revive has no brake track, so the sidewall is a plain extrusion that saves a little weight and never wears; it is the one to choose for any disc-brake frame. The rim-brake version, listed separately, has a machined sidewall.
Sizes, fit and compatibility
The Convergence We Are 1 Revive Carbon Rim comes in 29in and 28h drilling. It is a disc-brake rim. We build the Revive on Industry Nine Hydra 2 and 1/1, DT Swiss 350 and 240, Hope Pro 5, Onyx Vesper and Chris King MTB hubs, usually with Sapim Race, D-Light or CX-Ray spokes or DT Competition, and brass nipples.
Tire range on the Revive is 2.3 to 2.5in, tubeless-ready tires only on the hookless bead. The configurator recommends spoke count and lacing from your bike type and weight.
Put it in a custom wheel
Build a custom wheel around the Convergence We Are 1 Revive Carbon Rim — the link drops you into our Custom Wheel Program with this rim pinned, ready for you to choose the rest. It is set up for gravel and road disc, mountain bike and MTB single-speed builds.
Spoke head is decided by the hub, not the rim: this rim builds equally well with J-bend or straight-pull spokes, and the configurator only offers the spokes that match the hub you pick.
How Convergence We Are 1 tests its rims
We Are One Composites hand-lays its carbon rims in Kamloops, British Columbia, and states all of its manufacturing happens under one roof there: it designs and CNC-machines its own aluminum molds, develops its own layups, and each rim is hand laid and hand signed by the person who laid it up. We Are One states it has tested its products and knows they exceed industry standards, and that its in-house fatigue and strength testing meets current test standards, but it publishes no impact energies, fatigue-cycle counts or ISO/EN/UCI results. A February 2024 Radavist factory visit described in-house oven curing, hand-marked drilling and a quality-control check of every rim before lacing. For the Convergence rims, CompositesWorld reported in November 2022 that We Are One's in-house testing found Convergence 32% stronger than its Union 29 in rim, credited to Boston Materials ZRT film with Z-axis carbon fiber reinforcing the spoke bed; the Revive is 19 mm high with a 25 mm internal width.
Since Industry Nine acquired We Are One in June 2025, rim warranty claims go through industrynine.com. We Are One's statement is: "If you break a rim while riding, we will send you a new one. Period." with no cost except shipping. Industry Nine's warranty page states carbon rims are covered for life against defects and for impact damage while riding within the wheel's intended use, for the original purchaser. A July 2025 Radavist review describes 50% crash replacement for second owners or non-riding damage. No rider weight limit or maximum tire pressure is published on the brand's pages.

Building it at ProWheelBuilder
We Are One makes the Revive; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia, not the manufacturer. Spokes are cut from the ERD we measure on the actual rim, the wheel comes up in stages on a tensiometer, and it is stress-relieved and trued before it goes in the box; tape and a valve go on if you ask.
The configurator filters to what fits, crosses out what is not made, and prices the build as you go.
Warranty
Manufacturer's warranty. Convergence We Are 1 warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship. The duration, conditions and claim process are set by Convergence We Are 1 and can change without notice, so ask us and we will confirm the current terms before you buy.
ProWheelBuilder. Any wheel we build on this part carries ProWheelBuilder's one-year warranty in addition to the manufacturer's. Broken spokes are replaced for a year whatever the cause, and all wheel-side labor is included - truing, re-tensioning, rebuilding. Where the maker covers a failed rim or hub we handle that claim for you; where they decline, an eligible replacement comes at 25% off current retail. The customer covers shipping in both directions. Components supplied by the customer are not covered.
Full terms are on our Policies & Warranty page.
Revive Carbon Rim questions
What tire width suits this rim?
At 25mm inside this is an all-round width that suits cross-country and light-trail tires. That is wide enough to stop a modern trail casing rolling under you in a corner without pushing the tread so flat that it wears down the middle.
Which spokes and nipples suit the Revive?
For most riders a double-butted spoke such as Sapim Race or DT Competition with brass nipples; lighter riders can go to Sapim Laser or CX-Ray. The configurator recommends a gauge and count for the Revive from your bike type and weight.
Sector, Triad or Fuse?
Sector at 29mm for trail on 2.3 to 2.4in tires; Triad at 30mm for enduro and aggressive trail on 2.4 to 2.6in; Fuse at 33mm for e-bikes and the hardest riding.
What is Convergence?
We Are One's second-generation rim profile: a shallow section with alternating curves in the wall that buttress the spoke angles, and ZRT films in the layup, 32% stronger than the Union rims with the same compliance.
Is the Triad hookless?
Yes. Use tubeless-ready tires and stay under the maximum pressure printed on the rim.
Is We Are One made in Canada?
Yes. Every rim is laid up and molded by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, with a lifetime warranty.
Is ProWheelBuilder the manufacturer of the Convergence We Are 1 Revive Carbon Rim?
No. The rim is made by Convergence We Are 1; we are the wheel builder in Georgia who laces it into a finished wheel to your spec and stands behind the build.
