ENVE Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs
Custom ENVE Wheels on Velo Orange Hubs
Pick an ENVE rim we carry, put it on a Velo Orange hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build ENVE rims on Velo Orange hubs:
- Made by specialists: ENVE rims molded in Ogden, Utah (SES, G and M Series)
- Proven: ENVE developed its M Series over 322 prototypes with pro riders and teams
- Built to last: Velo Orange Chronos rears come apart with no tools, so a broken spoke on tour does not end the trip; ENVE covers its rims with a lifetime warranty
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: M6 mountain

Mountain in depth
ENVE M6 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs
Our mountain pick from the ENVE and Velo Orange parts we build with. The ENVE M6 is a hookless carbon rim, 32mm inside, 21mm deep, about 430 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs in 28 hole.
- M Series front and rear rims do different jobs. On models like the M6, the front rim runs wider for more tire support, lower pressure and more traction, with a narrower edge to save weight. The rear gets a wider edge for pinch-flat and impact protection, because ENVE says that is where damage is more likely.
- A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built ENVE wheels on Velo Orange 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 ENVE rims and Velo Orange hubs each bring
- Molded spoke holes. ENVE forms its spoke and valve holes in the mold instead of drilling them, so the carbon fibers stay uncut. Drilled carbon needs extra material to restore its strength, and ENVE says skipping that saves weight without giving up durability or stiffness.
- A seat for internal nipples. Where a rim uses internal nipples, a molded cone behind the hole lets the nipple pivot like a ball in a socket, so the spoke leaves at the same angle the nipple sits. ENVE says the lower bending stress means less truing and fewer fatigue breaks.
- M Series front and rear rims do different jobs. On models like the M6, the front rim runs wider for more tire support, lower pressure and more traction, with a narrower edge to save weight. The rear gets a wider edge for pinch-flat and impact protection, because ENVE says that is where damage is more likely.
- A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.
- Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.
- High flanges that make room for big bearings. The 58mm flanges leave space for large sealed cartridge bearings. Velo Orange chose this layout for long tours and commuting through grit and rain.
Two things to check before you order
- Nipples. The AM30 and M9 Pro take internal nipples; the M6 and M8 take external nipples. The builder offers only the nipple type each rim takes.
- Tires. Every ENVE rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.
ENVE and Velo Orange custom wheel questions
Which Velo Orange hub fits my ENVE rim?
The cards on this page start on the Velo Orange hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velo Orange Chronos Disc). The builder lists every Velo Orange hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build ENVE rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our ENVE custom wheel page for every hub that fits each ENVE rim, or our Velo Orange custom wheel page for every rim on a Velo Orange hub.
Can you build with a Velo Orange hub or ENVE 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.
