Astral Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs



Custom Astral Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick an Astral rim we carry, put it on an Industry Nine hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Astral rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- American made and matched: Astral rims made at Astral's own facility in Oregon, on Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: Astral drum-tests its rims at 47 mph, more than three times the energy of the ISO test; Industry Nine built the Hydra2 from feedback on over 100,000 ridden hubs
- Built to last: Industry Nine's classic hubs take standard J-bend spokes and service without proprietary tools; Astral backs its rims with a five-year warranty and lifetime crash replacement
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Wanderlust Aluminum gravel · Back Bone Aluminum mountain · Radiant road

Gravel in depth
Astral Wanderlust Aluminum wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs
Our gravel pick from the Astral and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Astral Wanderlust Aluminum is a hooked aluminum rim, 24mm inside, 30mm deep, about 450 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.
- Tubeless setup with a floor pump. Astral profiles have a deep center channel that helps the tire mount, and a bead seat sized for easy inflation and a secure fit. Astral says that lets you seat a tubeless tire with a pump at home.
- The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Mountain in depth
Astral Back Bone Aluminum wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Astral and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Astral Back Bone Aluminum is a hooked aluminum rim, 32mm inside, 20mm deep, about 535 grams in 27.5 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.
- Asymmetric gravel and trail rims. Astral's ASYM rims set the spoke holes off center, and it says this improves spoke tension balance by up to 30 percent. Astral credits that design for added stiffness, strength and longevity.
- Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.

Road in depth
Astral Radiant wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs
Our road pick from the Astral and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Astral Radiant is a hooked aluminum rim, 19.5mm inside, 32mm deep, about 495 grams in 700c, sized for about 25 to 32mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.
- Delta shaping on road rims. Astral's road rims borrow the Delta profile from sister brand Rolf Prima. Astral says the added width and sidewall shape reduce wind buffeting and give the tire more support in corners.
- SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Astral wheels on Industry Nine hubs
Every pair on this page is in our builder today, with a rim and hub that fit each other. We lace each 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 dimensions of your exact rim and hub.
What Astral rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- Sleeve-joined aluminum seams. At its Oregon facility, Astral joins aluminum rims with a fitted sleeve about 2.5 inches long, pressed in across the seam, which doubles the wall there. Astral chose this over welding because it says a weld's heat weakens the metal at the joint, while a sleeve leaves the heat treatment alone.
- Asymmetric gravel and trail rims. Astral's ASYM rims set the spoke holes off center, and it says this improves spoke tension balance by up to 30 percent. Astral credits that design for added stiffness, strength and longevity.
- Tubeless setup with a floor pump. Astral profiles have a deep center channel that helps the tire mount, and a bead seat sized for easy inflation and a secure fit. Astral says that lets you seat a tubeless tire with a pump at home.
- Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.
- Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
- SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

- Tires. The Wanderlust Aluminum, Radiant, Leviathan Touring, Solstice, Veil 3 Carbon, Veil 4 Carbon, Luna Carbon, Outback Aluminum, Veil 6 Carbon, Leviathan Tandem, Back Bone Aluminum and Serpentine Aluminum are hooked; every other Astral rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.
Astral and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Astral rim?
The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine 1/1 Road, Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock, Industry Nine Solix CL). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Astral rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Astral custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Astral rim, or our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.
Can you build with an Industry Nine hub or Astral rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own 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. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
How long will my 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.
