Boyd Wheels with Paul Hubs

Gravel in depth

Boyd CCC wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Paul 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 Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) 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.
• Less stress at the spoke head. Spoke holes are chamfered, and on the WORD the flanges are canted toward the rim. Paul does this to reduce stress on the head and elbow of each spoke.

Boyd Bracken wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Paul 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 Paul FHub Disc hubs (front 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.
• The hub that started single speed mountain bikes. Paul introduced the Wacky One-Speed Rear Device in 1996 and calls it the first purpose-built single speed mountain bike hub. Paul says its 52mm chainline is a standard that continues today.

• High Flange hubs cut from solid bar. Paul machines them in Chico, California from three inch round bar through four machining processes. The 65mm flanges have six window cutouts to save weight, and the rear comes fixed or flip-flop with a stainless lockring.
