Derby Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs



Custom Derby Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick a Derby 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 Derby rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- Made by specialists: Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: Derby offers its 29 x 35i in a downhill layup rated for 300 pound riders; 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; Derby drills drain holes so water spins out instead of sitting in the rim
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Carbon BX 25i gravel · Carbon DH 40i mountain

Gravel in depth
Derby Carbon BX 25i wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs
Our gravel pick from the Derby and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Derby Carbon BX 25i is a hookless carbon rim, 25mm inside, 32.5mm deep, about 415 grams in 650b, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.
- Ridges that hold the bead. A retention ridge forms a channel for the tire bead, which Derby says secures tubed and tubeless tires and prevents burping. A deep center channel eases mounting, and Derby says tubeless tires air up with a floor pump.
- The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Mountain in depth
Derby Carbon DH 40i wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Derby and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Derby Carbon DH 40i is a hookless carbon rim, 39.5mm inside, 31mm deep, about 565 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.8 to 3.0 inch plus tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.
- The same shape in different layups. The 29 x 35i comes in a trail layup at about 515 grams with a 225 pound rider limit, and a downhill layup at about 630 grams with a 300 pound limit. You choose how much strength to carry for how you ride.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Derby 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 Derby rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- Width was the starting point. Derby Rims began in 2012 after its founder found that 25mm carbon rims lost the stability and cornering traction of 30mm aluminum rims. The goal became a wider carbon rim that kept the low weight and added that traction back.
- Thick hookless walls. Derby rims use hookless walls 3mm thick in a parabolic profile, and Derby says the shape was chosen for load-bearing strength. Because there is no separate hook, the thick wall itself holds the tire.
- Ridges that hold the bead. A retention ridge forms a channel for the tire bead, which Derby says secures tubed and tubeless tires and prevents burping. A deep center channel eases mounting, and Derby says tubeless tires air up with a floor pump.
- 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.

Derby and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Derby rim?
The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine 1/1 Road, 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 Derby rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Derby custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Derby 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 Derby 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.
