Chromag Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Chromag Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs

Pick a Chromag rim we carry, put it on an Industry Nine hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Chromag rims on Industry Nine hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
  • Proven: Chromag says the BA30 v2 takes 20 percent more impact than the original at the same weight; Industry Nine built the Hydra2 from feedback on over 100,000 ridden hubs
  • Built to last: Industry Nine's classic hubs take standard J-bend spokes and service without proprietary tools; Chromag welds and grinds the seam so the joint is the strongest part of the rim
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: BA30 V2 mountain

Mountain in depth

Chromag BA30 V2 wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Chromag and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Chromag BA30 V2 is a hooked aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 19mm deep, about 640 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

  • A bead wall built for rock strikes. Chromag concentrates material in the bead wall, where impacts land, and rounds the outer edge to reduce tire damage under compression. The aim is better dent resistance and tire retention, and fewer pinch flats.
  • Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.

Chromag rims on Industry Nine hubs for mountain bikes

Each card opens our custom wheel builder with the rims and hubs for a wheelset already picked, on the Industry Nine hub our customers choose most with that rim. The builder offers every Industry Nine hub that fits, and you choose the colors, spokes and the rest.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Chromag wheels on Industry Nine 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 Chromag rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring

  • A bead wall built for rock strikes. Chromag concentrates material in the bead wall, where impacts land, and rounds the outer edge to reduce tire damage under compression. The aim is better dent resistance and tire retention, and fewer pinch flats.
  • A welded and ground seam. Both rims are fusion welded at the joint and then ground smooth, and Chromag says that makes the seam the strongest part of the rim. A full weld also keeps the joint airtight for tubeless.
  • Nipple beds angled to the spoke. Chromag's oriented bed lines up each nipple seat with the angle of its spoke. Chromag says this reduces stress on the nipple and spoke, which makes for a stronger wheel.
  • Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.
  • Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
  • SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

Chromag and Industry Nine custom wheel questions

Which Industry Nine hub fits my Chromag rim?

The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build Chromag rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our Chromag custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Chromag rim, or our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.

Can you build with an Industry Nine hub or Chromag 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.
