Astral Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs

Gravel in depth

Astral Wanderlust Aluminum wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our gravel pick from the Astral and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 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.
• Straight-pull drilling made for the spoke. On the road and gravel hubs, the spoke holes are shaped to stop straight-pull spokes from twisting and to keep them from touching. Wolf Tooth also keeps spoke lengths consistent across a wheelset, which simplifies carrying a spare.

Astral Back Bone Aluminum wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

Our mountain pick from the Astral and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs in 28 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.
• Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.

Astral Radiant wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our road pick from the Astral and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 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.
• A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.
