Boyd Wheels with Onyx Hubs

Gravel in depth

Boyd CCC wheels on Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs in 24 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.
• Standard spokes and rotor mounts. For all the unusual drive, these are J-bend hubs that take standard J-bend spokes, the easiest kind to find anywhere. Vesper and MTB disc models come in Centerlock and 6-bolt.

Mountain in depth

Boyd Bracken wheels on Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs 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.
• A weight trade-off. These hubs are heavier than pawl hubs, so they suit riders who want the engagement and the silence enough to carry the extra grams.

Our road pick from the Boyd and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs in 24 hole.
