Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Kinlin wheels on Industry Nine 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 Kinlin rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- KLM41 alloy. Kinlin developed this aluminum alloy with manganese and niobium, and lists the XR-31, TL-23 and TL-29 in it. Kinlin says it offers twice the elongation of conventional alloys, so the metal stretches further before it fails.
- T-10 process. Kinlin cold works each rim once it is round, rolling it twice on a patented machine, and only then heat treats it for 8 hours. It rates that higher in total strength and steadier in durability than the T-6 process it compares against.
- Steps kept in house. Kinlin says it runs the T-10 courses in house, including cold working, heat treatment, surface treating, drilling and finishing, and that T-6 makers outsource most of theirs. One factory stays responsible for the rim from start to finish.
- 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.
Kinlin and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Kinlin rim?
The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine 1/1 Road, Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Kinlin rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Kinlin custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Kinlin rim, or our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.
Can you build with an Industry Nine hub or Kinlin 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.
