Boyd Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs

Boyd custom wheel built by ProWheelBuilder

Custom Boyd Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs

Pick a Boyd rim we carry, put it on a Wolf Tooth hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Boyd rims on Wolf Tooth 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; Wolf Tooth drives through ENVE's 42mm INNERDRIVE steel ratchet
  • Built to last: Wolf Tooth sells every hub part separately and sets bearing preload automatically
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: CCC gravel · Bracken mountain · Altamont road

Gravel in depth

Boyd CCC wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our gravel pick from the Boyd and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull 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.
  • Straight-pull drilling made for the spoke. On the road and gravel hubs, the spoke holes are shaped to stop straight-pull spokes from twisting and to keep them from touching. Wolf Tooth also keeps spoke lengths consistent across a wheelset, which simplifies carrying a spare.

Mountain in depth

Boyd Bracken wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

Our mountain pick from the Boyd and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain 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.
  • Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.

Road in depth

Boyd Altamont wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our road pick from the Boyd and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 hole.

  • A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Boyd wheels on Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth 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.
  • A 42mm steel ratchet. Wolf Tooth tried several drive systems and settled on ENVE's INNERDRIVE. It says the large ring diameter lowers the stress on each tooth, so the hub can run more teeth without giving up durability.
  • Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.
  • A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.

Check before you order

  • Tires. The Altamont, CCC, 36 Road Carbon, Rouleur, 55 Carbon, Reiver Carbon and GVL are hooked; every other Boyd rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

Boyd and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions

Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Boyd rim?

The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull, Wolf Tooth Mountain). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth custom wheel page for every rim on a Wolf Tooth hub.

Can you build with a Wolf Tooth 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.
