Chromag Wheels with Velocity Hubs
Custom Chromag Wheels on Velocity Hubs
Pick a Chromag rim we carry, put it on a Velocity hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Chromag rims on Velocity hubs:
- Proven: Chromag says the BA30 v2 takes 20 percent more impact than the original at the same weight; Velocity built its Race hubs with extra sealing for cyclocross mud
- Built to last: Velocity disc fronts convert between three axle standards; 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 Velocity Race Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Chromag and Velocity 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 Velocity Race 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.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Chromag wheels on Velocity 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 Velocity 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.
- One front hub, three axle standards. Velocity's convertible disc front hubs include the parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru axle and 15mm thru axle, so a new fork does not have to mean a new hub.
- Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
- Bearings with nothing to adjust. Most Velocity hubs use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals, and Velocity sets the preload for you. It is clear that sealed does not mean waterproof, so a hub that has been pressure washed or submerged needs a mechanic's attention.
Chromag and Velocity custom wheel questions
Which Velocity hub fits my Chromag rim?
The cards on this page start on the Velocity hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velocity Race Centerlock). The builder lists every Velocity 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 Velocity custom wheel page for every rim on a Velocity hub.
Can you build with a Velocity 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.
