Boyd Wheels with Phil Wood Hubs

Gravel in depth

Boyd CCC wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc 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.
• Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.

Boyd Bracken wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc 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 cassette mechanism with five double-row pawls. Heat-treated stainless pawls engage a 40-tooth ratchet ring in a hard anodized 7075 body. Phil says some backpedal resistance is normal for up to 350 miles of break-in, and it suggests servicing the mechanism at least every three months.

Boyd Altamont wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Boyd and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs in 24 hole.

• Classic or Pro. The Pro swaps the Classic's stainless axle and end caps for 7075 aluminum, which Phil says cuts about 34 percent of the weight on its road hubs, depending on the configuration. Check the rating before you choose: Phil lists 280 pounds of rider and bike on Classic hubs and 190 pounds on Pro.
