Nextie Premium CRX carbon wheelset
A complete wheelset built around the Premium CRX rim. A pair of Premium CRX rims on Nextie's own Rollingstar II Road or Rollingstar III Road hubs, in 4 sizes (33-70mm deep), with Sapim spokes and black alloy nipples. Nextie molds the rims in Xiamen and sends us the parts as a kit, and we lace, tension and true both wheels by hand in our Georgia shop.
ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Nextie dealer, not the maker of the parts: we check your axle, freehub and size choices before the order goes in, and build the pair when the kit arrives.
Building your pair
Every Nextie Premium CRX wheelset is sold as a front and rear pair, and the two wheels do not have to match. Pick the front depth and the rear depth separately: a shallower front for crosswinds with a deeper rear for speed is the common choice, and a matched pair is one click. The front is never deeper than the rear, so a deeper front with a shallower rear is not built. The rear follows the front until you choose a different one. Both wheels share the hub set, so they share the drilling; a depth that is not made in the drilling you picked is struck through.
Sizes, wheelset weights and prices
Wheelset weight is the complete pair as built: both rims, spokes, nipples and the hub set, from the lightest spoke and hub choice to the heaviest. Prices are for a matched pair on the least expensive hub; mixed front and rear pairs are priced from the two rims you choose.
| Size | Wheel | Inner width | Depth | Tire range | Rim weight | Wheelset weight | Drilling | Wheelset price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRX 33 | 700c | 21mm | 33mm | 25-47mm | 335g | 1123-1243g | 24H | from $915 |
| CRX 45 | 700c | 21mm | 45mm | 25-47mm | 360g | 1173-1293g | 24H | from $945 |
| CRX 55 | 700c | 21mm | 55mm | 25-47mm | 395g | 1243-1363g | 24H | from $965 |
| CRX 70 | 700c | 21mm | 70mm | 25-47mm | 530g | 1513-1633g | 24H | from $995 |
The rim
The CRX is the modern Premium road rim: a 21mm inner width that suits today's 25 to 32mm tires, in 33, 45, 55 and 70mm depths. It spans everything from a 335-gram climbing rim to a 70mm time-trial section, for disc or rim brakes, in the Premium edition with a three-year warranty.
Premium is Nextie's balanced edition: a T700 and high-modulus T800 carbon mix, an independent spoke-bed mold for consistent spoke-hole thickness, roundness and flatness within 0.20mm, and a 3-year factory warranty - stiffness, deflection control and weight in balance. Nextie's first UCI-approved rim, the 45mm NXT45RC (September 2021), came out of the same Premium road program; the CRX sizes do not carry their own certificate. Nextie rates these rims for a maximum system weight of 137 to 174 kg (rider plus bike and gear). The Nextie Premium CRX rim page carries Nextie's published lab results, test videos and certificates in full.
Hubs, spokes and drive

Spokes are Sapim: the round Race (2.0/1.8mm double-butted) for durability, or the bladed CX-Ray for less weight and drag, both with black alloy nipples. Freehub bodies: Shimano Road (HG), Shimano Micro Spline Road 12S, SRAM XDR, Campagnolo N3W 13S.
Finish: matte or glossy carbon. Decals: None, Outline White, Solid Black, Glossy Solid Black, Solid Chromium. Bead: Hooked.

Ordering and lead time
Nextie makes the parts to order, so allow 6 to 7 weeks in all, covering manufacturing, transit to Georgia and the build. The price at the top of the page is the complete wheelset as configured. Want a single wheel, a different hub or other spokes? Build it in the Custom Wheel Program, which opens with the Nextie Premium CRX rim already selected.
Warranty
Manufacturer's warranty. Nextie warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship. The duration, conditions and claim process are set by Nextie and can change without notice, so ask us and we will confirm the current terms before you buy.
ProWheelBuilder. We build this wheelset here, so our one-year wheel warranty covers it, alongside Nextie's warranty on the parts. Inside that year, broken spokes are replaced no matter how they broke, and the wheel labor is ours - truing, re-tensioning or a full rebuild. A rim or hub failure that Nextie covers, we claim for you and see through; one Nextie declines is answered with an eligible replacement at 25% off retail. Shipping each way is yours.
Full terms are on our Policies & Warranty page.
Nextie Premium CRX wheelset questions
Which CRX depth should I choose?
Pick by your roads and the wind. The 33mm is the lightest at 335 grams, for climbing; the 45mm is the all-round depth; the 55mm and 70mm are faster on flat roads but catch more crosswind. If crosswinds worry you at 45mm or deeper, look at the wave-edge CRX-W.
Is the CRX available for rim brakes?
Yes. Like the RX, the CRX is offered with a rim-brake track or for disc brakes.
Can I run a different depth front and rear on the Nextie Premium CRX wheelset?
Yes. Pick the front and rear size separately; the price is the two rims you chose plus the build, and a matched pair costs exactly what it always has. Both wheels share one drilling because they share the hub set.
Can I buy one Premium CRX wheel on its own?
Not from this page: this wheelset is sold as a pair. A single front or rear wheel on this rim can be built in the Custom Wheel Program.
Which hub should I choose?
Rollingstar II is the value choice; Rollingstar III is the lighter hub set, about 60 grams lighter for the pair. Each hub is drilled one way, so the drilling and the hub are chosen together.
Is ProWheelBuilder the manufacturer of the Nextie Premium CRX?
No. Nextie designs and manufactures the rims and hubs. ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Nextie dealer: we check your choices before the order goes in, hand build the wheelset from Nextie's kit and handle any warranty claim.
