Industry Nine Wheels with Shimano Hubs

Industry Nine custom wheel built by ProWheelBuilder

Custom Industry Nine Wheels on Shimano Hubs

Pick an Industry Nine rim we carry, put it on a Shimano hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Industry Nine rims on Shimano hubs:

  • Proven: Industry Nine says its downhill and freeride athletes have proven the Grade 300; Shimano builds the same cup-and-cone layout into Dura-Ace on purpose, and its XT and XTR rears engage in 3.5 degrees
  • Built to last: Shimano hubs can be serviced at almost any bike shop; 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 Shimano XT M8210 B hubs

Our mountain pick from the Industry Nine and Shimano 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 Shimano XT M8210 B 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.
  • Quick engagement off the line. The XT and XTR rears engage within 3.5 degrees. Shimano says that helps you get moving quickly, while the seal design and smooth bearings mean less drag when you coast.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Industry Nine wheels on Shimano 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 Shimano 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.
  • Cup and cone on the road hubs. Shimano says this construction lets a mechanic fine-tune the bearing and stays smooth under cornering and sprint loads, and that Dura-Ace uses it on purpose. The 105 hubs add internal O-rings and a grease sleeve for durability.
  • Cartridge bearings on current XT and XTR. The M8210-B and M9210-B hubs moved to cartridge bearings with preload adjustment, in steel on XT and stainless on XTR. Shimano pairs them with new seals and calls them easily serviceable.
  • Quick engagement off the line. The XT and XTR rears engage within 3.5 degrees. Shimano says that helps you get moving quickly, while the seal design and smooth bearings mean less drag when you coast.

Industry Nine and Shimano custom wheel questions

Which Shimano hub fits my Industry Nine rim?

The cards on this page start on the Shimano hub our customers build with each rim most often (Shimano XT M8210 B). The builder lists every Shimano 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 Shimano custom wheel page for every rim on a Shimano hub.

Can you build with a Shimano 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.
