HED Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

Custom wheel built by ProWheelBuilder: Industry Nine Torch Road Disc Green hubs, HED C2 Disc Black rims

Custom HED Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs

Pick a HED 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 HED rims on Industry Nine hubs:

  • American made and matched: HED rims with carbon made in house in Minnesota, where HED built its first carbon wheel in 1984, on Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
  • Proven: HED helped make wind tunnel testing with the tire mounted an industry standard; 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
  • More than 50 HED wheels on Industry Nine hubs in our build records since 2009, each laced and trued by hand in Georgia
  • In depth below: Belgium G gravel · Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon road · B.A.D. Alloy fat bike

Gravel in depth

HED Belgium G wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our gravel pick from the HED and Industry Nine parts we build with. The HED Belgium G is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 24.5mm deep, about 457 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

  • Belgium aluminum for road and gravel. The Belgium R is 25mm wide outside, and the Belgium G is 25mm inside and 30mm outside for gravel tires. Both are welded at the seam and tubeless compatible.
  • 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.

Road in depth

HED Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our road pick from the HED and Industry Nine parts we build with. The HED Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon is a hooked carbon rim, 22.4mm inside, 45mm deep, about 460 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

  • Tuned for crosswinds, not just headwinds. HED says it shapes rims for stable handling across the wind angles riders really see. On the Vanquish line, it reports stable crosswind behavior across more than 70 percent of typical cycling yaw angles.
  • 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.

Fat bike in depth

HED B.A.D. Alloy wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our fat bike pick from the HED and Industry Nine parts we build with. The HED B.A.D. Alloy is a hooked aluminum rim, 76mm inside, 17mm deep, sized for about 3.8 to 5 inch fat bike tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

  • Early on rim width. HED counts itself among the early makers of wide rims, aimed at lower rolling resistance. HED says a wider inside width spreads the tire into a better supported shape, so you can drop pressure without the tire folding under load.
  • 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.

Questions about these builds

Which HED rim should I build on Industry Nine hubs?

For gravel, the Belgium G (25mm inside) on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs; for road, the Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon (22.4mm inside) on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs; for fat bike, the B.A.D. Alloy (76mm inside) on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs. Each one opens the builder from its section above, and the cards below cover every HED rim that fits an Industry Nine hub.

More about HED and Industry Nine wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built HED wheels on Industry Nine hubs

Our order records show more than 50 HED wheels laced to Industry Nine hubs since 2009. 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 HED rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring

  • Early on rim width. HED counts itself among the early makers of wide rims, aimed at lower rolling resistance. HED says a wider inside width spreads the tire into a better supported shape, so you can drop pressure without the tire folding under load.
  • Shaped with the tire in place. HED says it helped make wind tunnel testing with a mounted tire an industry standard. Testing that way treats the tire and rim as one shape, because that is what the air actually meets.
  • Tuned for crosswinds, not just headwinds. HED says it shapes rims for stable handling across the wind angles riders really see. On the Vanquish line, it reports stable crosswind behavior across more than 70 percent of typical cycling yaw angles.
  • 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.

Check before you order

  • Tires. The Belgium G, Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon, Belgium R, B.A.D. Alloy and B.H.A.D. Alloy are hooked; every other HED rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

HED and Industry Nine custom wheel questions

Which Industry Nine hub fits my HED 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 Solix CL, 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 HED rims on other hubs?

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