Mountain in depth

Industry Nine Grade 300 Aluminum wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Industry Nine and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc 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.
  • A cassette mechanism with five double-row pawls. Heat-treated stainless pawls engage a 40-tooth ratchet ring in a hard anodized 7075 body. Phil says some backpedal resistance is normal for up to 350 miles of break-in, and it suggests servicing the mechanism at least every three months.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Industry Nine wheels on Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood 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.
  • Built around low maintenance since 1971. Phil Wood was founded to make maintenance-free hubs and still designs, makes and assembles them in San Jose, California. A front hub shell passes through seven production stations before assembly.
  • Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.
  • Bearings made to Phil's spec. Phil Wood specifies the characteristics of every bearing it uses, and it says many are made exclusively for it. If a bearing wears out, Phil's answer is to replace the cartridge rather than repack it.

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

Industry Nine and Phil Wood custom wheel questions

Which Phil Wood hub fits my Industry Nine rim?

The cards on this page start on the Phil Wood hub our customers build with each rim most often (Phil Wood Pro Disc). The builder lists every Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood custom wheel page for every rim on a Phil Wood hub.

Can you build with a Phil Wood 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.
