HED Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs
Custom HED Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs
Pick a HED rim we carry, put it on a Wolf Tooth hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build HED rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:
- Made by specialists: HED rims with carbon made in house in Minnesota, where HED built its first carbon wheel in 1984
- Proven: HED helped make wind tunnel testing with the tire mounted an industry standard; Wolf Tooth drives through ENVE's 42mm INNERDRIVE steel ratchet
- Built to last: Wolf Tooth sells every hub part separately and sets bearing preload automatically
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Belgium G gravel · Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon road

Gravel in depth
HED Belgium G wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs
Our gravel pick from the HED and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 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.
- 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.

Road in depth
HED Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs
Our road pick from the HED and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 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.
- 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 HED and Wolf Tooth wheels
Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built HED 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 HED rims and Wolf Tooth 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.
- 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.
HED and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions
Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my HED 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). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth custom wheel page for every rim on a Wolf Tooth hub.
Can you build with a Wolf Tooth 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.
