Industry Nine Hubs Custom Hand Built Wheels

Why Industry Nine hubs are different

• 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.
• 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.
• Steel spokes on the classic hubs. The hubs on this page are the versions built for J-bend steel spokes, with scalloped flanges on the Hydra2 and SOLiX. That is what leaves the choice of spoke gauge and color open to you, instead of Industry Nine's aluminum System spokes.
• Machined in Asheville. Industry Nine makes its own hub shells, axles, pawls and drive rings in Asheville, North Carolina, and anodizes them there too. It says this leaves no failure it cannot trace to the root.

The Industry Nine hubs we build with

These are J-bend hubs, which take standard J-bend spokes - the widest choice of gauge, color and material, and the easiest to source anywhere in the world if you ever break one far from home.

Axle spacing has to match your frame or fork, and it is the single most common thing people get wrong when ordering a wheel. We build Industry Nine hubs in 100mm, 110mm, 135mm, 141mm, 142mm, 148mm, 150mm, 157mm. If you are unsure what your frame takes, measure the inside faces of the dropouts before you order, or email us and we will work it out with you.

What to pair with a Industry Nine hub

A wheel is a system: the rim decides the tire and the braking, the hub decides the drivetrain and the axle fit, and the spokes have to suit both. Start from whichever end matters most to you and the configurator will keep the other end compatible.
