Boyd Wheels with Boyd Hubs
Custom Boyd Wheels on Boyd Hubs
Pick a Boyd rim we carry, put it on a Boyd hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Boyd rims on Boyd hubs:
- Made by specialists: Boyd rims made in Boyd's own South Carolina plants
- Proven: Boyd offsets its Podium disc rim beds so the non-drive spokes carry up to 70 percent of drive-side tension; Boyd's 36-tooth hubs engage every 5 degrees
- Built to last: Boyd hubs change freehubs by hand and spin on Enduro ABEC-5 bearings
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: CCC gravel · Bracken mountain · Altamont road

Or pick one of the 13 ready-made pairs below: each opens our custom wheel builder with the Boyd rim and Boyd hub already chosen.
Gravel in depth
Boyd CCC wheels on Boyd Quest hubs
Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Boyd parts we build with. The Boyd CCC is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 25.5mm deep, about 415 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs in 24/28 hole.
- Tubeless or tubes. Every Boyd rim has a tubeless bed, and the tubeless tape also works as a rim strip. You can run either setup on the same rim.
- Centerlock rotors on the Quest. One central lockring holds the rotor instead of six small bolts. Boyd chose it because the rotor goes on faster and there are no bolts to torque one by one.

Mountain in depth
Boyd Bracken wheels on Boyd Quest hubs
Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Boyd parts we build with. The Boyd Bracken is a hookless aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 19mm deep, about 490 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (rear wheel) in 32 hole.
- Podium and Prologue tiers. Podium rims add variable thickness in the rim bed to save weight. Podium aluminum rims are also sandblasted and anodized after forming, with water transfer decals, while Prologue aluminum rims come from a faster, more automated process.
- Five degrees of engagement. The 85 Road and the Quest both turn on 36 teeth and engage every 5 degrees. That cuts the dead spot before the drive catches when you start pedaling again, such as coming out of a corner.

Road in depth
Boyd Altamont wheels on Boyd Quest hubs
Our road pick from the Boyd and Boyd parts we build with. The Boyd Altamont is a hooked aluminum rim, 21mm inside, 26mm deep, about 420 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs in 24/28 hole.
- Tool-free changes. Quest end caps and freehub bodies swap by hand, and the 85 Road offers tool-free service with a swappable freehub. A new frame, axle standard or groupset does not have to mean a new hub.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Boyd wheels on Boyd 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 Boyd rims and Boyd hubs each bring
- Boyd makes its own rims. Boyd opened Olive Manufacturing Group in 2022 to make aluminum rims, in a Greenville, South Carolina facility. In 2024 it bought German maker Munich Composites and moved the equipment to Landrum, South Carolina, where carbon rim production began in 2025.
- Offset rim beds. On Podium disc rims, the nipples sit away from the rim's center, which widens the drive-side bracing angle. Boyd says non-drive spokes then run at about 65 to 70 percent of drive-side tension, up from 50 to 55 percent, and that steadier tension means fewer loose nipples and broken spokes.
- Hooked for road, hookless for dirt. Boyd keeps a hook on road rims, because a pothole can spike the pressure in a small, hard tire and the hook holds the bead. On carbon gravel and mountain rims, which run at low pressure, it drops the hook to allow a wider rim without extra material.
- Five degrees of engagement. The 85 Road and the Quest both turn on 36 teeth and engage every 5 degrees. That cuts the dead spot before the drive catches when you start pedaling again, such as coming out of a corner.
- Three pawls at a time on the Quest. The Quest has six pawls working in two sets of three on its 36-tooth ring, so three pawls carry the load at each engagement.
- Tool-free changes. Quest end caps and freehub bodies swap by hand, and the 85 Road offers tool-free service with a swappable freehub. A new frame, axle standard or groupset does not have to mean a new hub.
Check before you order
- Tires. The 44 Carbon, Altamont, CCC, 36 Road Carbon, Rouleur, 55 Carbon, GVL and Reiver Carbon are hooked; every other Boyd rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.
Boyd and Boyd custom wheel questions
Which Boyd hub fits my Boyd rim?
The cards on this page start on the Boyd hub our customers build with each rim most often (Boyd 85 Road, Boyd Quest). The builder lists every Boyd hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Boyd rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Boyd custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Boyd rim, or our Boyd custom wheel page for every rim on a Boyd hub.
Can you build with a Boyd hub or Boyd 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.
