Mountain in depth

Industry Nine Grade 300 Aluminum wheels on Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Industry Nine and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock 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.
  • Standard spokes and rotor mounts. For all the unusual drive, these are J-bend hubs that take standard J-bend spokes, the easiest kind to find anywhere. Vesper and MTB disc models come in Centerlock and 6-bolt.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Industry Nine wheels on Onyx 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 Onyx 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.
  • A patented sprag clutch instead of pawls. Onyx hubs drive through a sprag clutch, not pawls and a toothed ring. With no teeth in the drive, there are none to skip.
  • Power that does not wait for a tooth. Onyx says the hub carries your pedaling to the rear wheel instantly, for faster acceleration and more control. There is no gap between teeth to cross before it picks up.
  • Silent coasting. Taking out the pawls also takes out the sound they make against the teeth, and removes the play that comes with them. The wheel coasts quietly.

Check before you order

  • Tires. Every Industry Nine rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

Industry Nine and Onyx custom wheel questions

Which Onyx hub fits my Industry Nine rim?

The cards on this page start on the Onyx hub our customers build with each rim most often (Onyx Vesper Centerlock). The builder lists every Onyx 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 Onyx custom wheel page for every rim on an Onyx hub.

Can you build with an Onyx 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.
