Gravel in depth

DT Swiss GR 531 wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our gravel pick from the DT Swiss and Wolf Tooth parts we build with. The DT Swiss GR 531 is a hooked aluminum rim, 24mm inside, 25mm deep, about 535 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 hole.

  • 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

DT Swiss XM 481 wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

Our mountain pick from the DT Swiss and Wolf Tooth parts we build with. The DT Swiss XM 481 is a hooked aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 21.5mm deep, about 525 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs in 28 hole.

  • More pinch flat resistance on the FR 541. DT Swiss reshaped this downhill and freeride rim for impact, and says tests with a tire supplier showed 17 percent more pinch flat resistance than the earlier FR 560.
  • 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

DT Swiss R 460 wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our road pick from the DT Swiss and Wolf Tooth parts we build with. The DT Swiss R 460 is a hooked aluminum rim, 18mm inside, 22.5mm deep, about 460 grams in 700c, sized for about 25 to 32mm tires. We lace it to Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 hole.

  • PHR washers at the spoke holes. On rims like the RR 411, EX 511 and FR 541, a shaped washer spreads each nipple's load over more of the rim. DT Swiss says that lowers peak loads enough to build a lighter rim, and that the washer pivots to line its ball-head nipples up with the spoke, cutting the risk of a broken spoke or cracked rim.
  • 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.

More about DT Swiss and Wolf Tooth wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built DT Swiss 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 DT Swiss rims and Wolf Tooth hubs each bring

  • PHR washers at the spoke holes. On rims like the RR 411, EX 511 and FR 541, a shaped washer spreads each nipple's load over more of the rim. DT Swiss says that lowers peak loads enough to build a lighter rim, and that the washer pivots to line its ball-head nipples up with the spoke, cutting the risk of a broken spoke or cracked rim.
  • Welded or sleeved joints, by model. DT Swiss rates a welded joint as the most resistant it offers in aluminum and uses it on the RR 411, EX 511 and FR 541. Sleeved rims like the R 470 and M 502 are its way of holding down the cost.
  • Asymmetric shapes. The XRC 310, XMC 320 and EXC 330 carbon rims are asymmetric to even out spoke tension in the build, which DT Swiss says makes a stronger, longer-lasting wheel. The RR 411 alloy rim comes in both symmetric and asymmetric versions.
  • 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.

DT Swiss and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions

Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my DT Swiss 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 DT Swiss rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our DT Swiss custom wheel page for every hub that fits each DT Swiss 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 DT Swiss 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.
