Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Kinlin wheels on Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth 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.
- A 42mm steel ratchet. Wolf Tooth tried several drive systems and settled on ENVE's INNERDRIVE. It says the large ring diameter lowers the stress on each tooth, so the hub can run more teeth without giving up durability.
- Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.
- A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.
Kinlin and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions
Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Kinlin rim?
The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull, Wolf Tooth Mountain). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth custom wheel page for every rim on a Wolf Tooth hub.
Can you build with a Wolf Tooth 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.
