Ibis Wheels with White Industries Hubs
Custom Ibis Wheels on White Industries Hubs
Pick an Ibis rim we carry, put it on a White Industries hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Ibis rims on White Industries hubs:
- Made by specialists: White Industries hubs machined, assembled and inspected in Petaluma, California
- Proven: Ibis builds a hollow box-section bead wall to stop pinch flats; White Industries' cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged since 1992
- Built to last: White Industries stocks parts for older hubs and gives a five-year warranty; Ibis gives the original owner a lifetime warranty on its rims
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop

Mountain in depth
Ibis Blackbird Send 2 wheels on White Industries CLD hubs
Our mountain pick from the Ibis and White Industries parts we build with. The Ibis Blackbird Send 2 is a hooked aluminum rim, 35mm inside, 17mm deep, about 625 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to White Industries CLD hubs in 32 hole.
- Ribs under the bead seat on the Send 2. A dented bead wall can be bent back, but Ibis says a dented bead seat can't, and then the tire will not seal tubeless. The Send 2 adds a pair of ribs right beneath the seat to prevent that, for about 45 grams per rim.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Ibis wheels on White Industries 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 Ibis rims and White Industries hubs each bring
- A hollow box-section bead wall. Pinch flats happen when a hard hit traps the tire against the rim edge. Ibis removes the sharp edge with a hollow box-section bead wall that gives the tire a broad contact point, and it says the wall is stronger with no added weight.
- Ribs under the bead seat on the Send 2. A dented bead wall can be bent back, but Ibis says a dented bead seat can't, and then the tire will not seal tubeless. The Send 2 adds a pair of ribs right beneath the seat to prevent that, for about 45 grams per rim.
- A front and rear pairing. The rear wheel takes the brunt of the damage, so Ibis's own wheelsets put a Send 1 up front and a Send 2 in back.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.
- Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.
- A design with a long record. These hubs descend from the Ti Cassette rear hub of 1992, which White Industries says was the lightest on the market at the time. It says that cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged for 30 years.
Ibis and White Industries custom wheel questions
Which White Industries hub fits my Ibis rim?
The cards on this page start on the White Industries hub our customers build with each rim most often (White Industries CLD). The builder lists every White Industries hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Ibis rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Ibis custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Ibis rim, or our White Industries custom wheel page for every rim on a White Industries hub.
Can you build with a White Industries hub or Ibis 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.
