Industry Nine Wheels with Bitex Hubs
Custom Industry Nine Wheels on Bitex Hubs
Pick an Industry Nine rim we carry, put it on a Bitex hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Industry Nine rims on Bitex hubs:
- Made by specialists: Bitex hubs made in Bitex's family factory in Taichung, Taiwan
- Proven: Industry Nine says its downhill and freeride athletes have proven the Grade 300; Bitex patented the hardened Gouge Guard splines that stop cassettes biting the freehub
- Built to last: Bitex freehubs and axle ends swap to follow your next drivetrain or frame; Industry Nine gives its rims a hollow bead wall for impact resistance
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Grade 300 Aluminum mountain

Mountain in depth
Industry Nine Grade 300 Aluminum wheels on Bitex BX 211 hubs
Our mountain pick from the Industry Nine and Bitex parts we build with. The Industry Nine Grade 300 Aluminum is a hookless aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 21.5mm deep, about 620 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Bitex BX 211 hubs in 32 hole.
- A profile shaped to resist dents. Industry Nine gives the Grade 300 a proprietary profile meant to keep dents at bay and a bead shelf suited to tubeless tires. It says its downhill and freeride athletes have proven the rim.
- Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Industry Nine wheels on Bitex 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 Industry Nine rims and Bitex hubs each bring
- Hollow bead walls. The Sector and Triad are extruded from 6069 aluminum, and all three rims use a hollow bead wall, the part that takes the hit from a rock. Industry Nine says that adds pinch flat protection and impact resistance.
- A profile shaped to resist dents. Industry Nine gives the Grade 300 a proprietary profile meant to keep dents at bay and a bead shelf suited to tubeless tires. It says its downhill and freeride athletes have proven the rim.
- One rim for each kind of riding. The Sector is the trail rim at 28.5mm wide inside, the Triad is the enduro rim at 30mm, and the Grade 300 is the downhill and freeride rim at 30mm. All three stay close to 21mm deep, so the choice comes down to how hard you ride.
- Gouge Guard on the freehub. Steel cassette cogs tend to bite notches into an aluminum freehub, and those notches make the cassette hard to remove. Bitex patented three small hardened stainless splines that take that pressure instead, and it is the Anti-Bite label on our Shimano HG driver choice.
- Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.
- A freehub you can change later. Each model lists its own freehub bodies, such as Shimano, Campagnolo, XDR or XD, and Bitex publishes videos showing how to swap one. Moving to a new drivetrain can mean a new freehub body and not a new hub.

Industry Nine and Bitex custom wheel questions
Which Bitex hub fits my Industry Nine rim?
The cards on this page start on the Bitex hub our customers build with each rim most often (Bitex BX 211). The builder lists every Bitex hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Industry Nine rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Industry Nine rim, or our Bitex custom wheel page for every rim on a Bitex hub.
Can you build with a Bitex hub or Industry Nine 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.
