A race-minded cross-country pair on the 30mm Omega 36U.
- Two layups, a race build and one with more margin, mixable front to rear
- 30mm inner width, 29in, 28 hole
- Supreme edition with a five-year Nextie warranty
- Rollingstar II MTB Boost hubs, Sapim spokes and black alloy nipples
Choosing your layup. Both layups carry about the same rider-plus-bike rating, 143 to 150 kg. The extra 20 grams buys impact margin: 100 joules on Nextie's hammer test for the 260g, 105 for the 280g. Both are rated ASTM condition 3: cross-country, marathon and trail riding, with jumps and drops under about 24 inches.
- 260g: race day and smooth to moderate courses, for riders who pick clean lines.
- 280g: everyday cross-country and downcountry. It's the better pick if you're near the top of the weight range or ride rocky trails.
- Mix them: the 260g in front and the 280g in the rear, which carries more of your weight.
- Riding bike parks, enduro or bigger drops? Choose the Omega 36 instead. It's rated a class higher and tests at 130 to 140 joules.
Nextie Supreme Omega 36U carbon wheelset
A complete wheelset built around the Supreme Omega 36U rim. A pair of Supreme Omega 36U rims on Nextie's own Rollingstar II MTB Boost hubs, in 2 sizes (36mm wide, 2 layups), 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 Supreme Omega 36U wheelset is sold as a front and rear pair, and the two layups can differ: run the lighter layup in front and the stronger one in the rear, or match them. The rear follows the front until you choose a different one.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omega 36U 260g | 29in | 30mm | - | 2.0-2.75in | 260g | 1070-1140g | 28H | from $1136 |
| Omega 36U 280g | 29in | 30mm | - | 2.0-2.75in | 280g | 1110-1180g | 28H | from $1096 |
The rim
We offer it in 260 and 280-gram layups, in 29in.
Supreme is Nextie's top edition: a T800 and ultra-light T1000 carbon blend, the Advanced Single-Point independent spoke-bed mold, roundness and flatness held within 0.15mm, and a 5-year factory warranty - the lowest weight Nextie can reach with the highest impact resistance. The approvals below are Nextie's road and gravel certificates. The Nextie Supreme Omega 36U rim page carries Nextie's published lab results, test videos and certificates in full.
Hubs, spokes and drive
Hub choices: Nextie Rollingstar II MTB Boost 15x110 / 12x148, 36, 45 or 54-tooth engagement, Centerlock or 6-bolt rotor mount. The hub sets the drilling, 28H, and both wheels use the same set.
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 MTB (HG), SRAM XD, Micro Spline 12S.
Finish: matte or glossy carbon. Decals: None, Glossy Outline Black.

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 Supreme Omega 36U wheelset questions
Can I buy one Supreme Omega 36U 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?
All three are Rollingstar II; pick by engagement (36, 45 or 54 teeth) and by rotor mount (Centerlock or 6-bolt).
Is ProWheelBuilder the manufacturer of the Nextie Supreme Omega 36U?
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.
