Boyd Wheels with Velocity Hubs

Gravel in depth

Boyd CCC wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Velocity 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 Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 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.
• Extra sealing on the Race hubs. Velocity designed the Race line with cyclocross in mind and gave it improved double-bearing seals for added protection, which suits wheels that spend their lives in mud.

Mountain in depth

Boyd Bracken wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Velocity 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 Velocity Race 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.
• Fronts made for radial lacing. Velocity designs its front hubs so they can be laced radially where the wheel allows it. It says radial spokes add lateral rigidity and save a little weight.

Boyd Altamont wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our road pick from the Boyd and Velocity 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 Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 hole.

• Service Velocity shows you how to do. Pawls in the cassette body carry your power to the wheel, and Velocity suggests inspecting and lubricating them at least once a year. It publishes videos showing how to change the axle and cassette body.
