Ibis Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs
Custom Ibis Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs
Pick an Ibis 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 Ibis rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:
- Proven: Ibis builds a hollow box-section bead wall to stop pinch flats; 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; 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs
Our mountain pick from the Ibis and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs (rear wheel) 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.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Ibis 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 Ibis rims and Wolf Tooth 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.
- 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.
Ibis and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions
Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Ibis rim?
The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (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 Ibis rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Ibis custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Ibis 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 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.
