Nextie Wheels with Bitex Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Nextie Wheels on Bitex Hubs

Pick a Nextie rim we carry, put it on a Bitex hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Nextie rims on Bitex hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Bitex hubs made in Bitex's family factory in Taichung, Taiwan
  • Proven: Nextie measures every rim and ships it with a card showing its flatness and roundness; Bitex patented the hardened Gouge Guard splines that stop cassettes biting the freehub
  • Built to last: Bitex freehubs and axle ends swap to follow your next drivetrain or frame; Nextie warranties its rims for up to five years, by edition
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: ARX-W 35 gravel · AM 40 mountain · CRX 33 road

Gravel in depth

Nextie ARX-W 35 wheels on Bitex BX 106 hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Bitex parts we build with. The Nextie ARX-W 35 is a hooked carbon rim, 25mm inside, 35mm deep, about 350 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Bitex BX 106 hubs in 24 hole.

  • Test results in public. Nextie publishes lab figures for some rims, including stiffness tables and a spoke hole test. On the Ocean 45G it reports 300 kgf at the spoke holes with no cracks or deformation.
  • Axle ends that convert. Bitex lists quick release and 12mm thru-axle options on models like the MTR, and shows the axle and end cap changes in its videos. If your next frame uses a different standard, the wheel may be able to follow it.

Mountain in depth

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Bitex BX 211 hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Bitex parts we build with. The Nextie AM 40 is a hookless carbon rim, 34mm inside, 32mm deep, about 475 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Bitex BX 211 hubs in 32 hole.

  • Carbon and coverage that step up by edition. Standard rims are all T700 with a 2-year warranty, Premium adds T800 with 3 years, and Supreme adds fibers like T1000 with 5 years. Nextie says it tuned these mixes over rounds of testing for impact resistance.
  • Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.

Road in depth

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Bitex BX 106 hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Bitex parts we build with. The Nextie CRX 33 is a hooked carbon rim, 21mm inside, 33mm deep, about 335 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Bitex BX 106 hubs in 24 hole.

  • Alloy or steel axle. On the 142mm MTR rear, Bitex lists a 35.7g alloy axle and an 84g steel one, so a rider can choose between saving weight and a heavier steel part.

More about Nextie and Bitex wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Nextie wheels on Bitex 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 Nextie rims and Bitex hubs each bring

  • A measured card with each rim. Nextie attaches a card showing each rim's flatness and roundness, and holds Supreme to +/-0.15mm, Premium to +/-0.2mm and Standard to +/-0.25mm, not counting fat bike rims. Nextie says the tighter numbers make a wheel easier to tune as it comes up to tension.
  • A separate mold for the spoke bed. On Premium and Supreme rims, Nextie forms the spoke bed wall in its own mold. The channel comes out flatter, the wall is the same thickness at every spoke hole, and Nextie says the carbon loop around each hole is kept from shifting.
  • Carbon and coverage that step up by edition. Standard rims are all T700 with a 2-year warranty, Premium adds T800 with 3 years, and Supreme adds fibers like T1000 with 5 years. Nextie says it tuned these mixes over rounds of testing for impact resistance.
  • Gouge Guard on the freehub. Steel cassette cogs tend to bite notches into an aluminum freehub, and those notches make the cassette hard to remove. Bitex patented three small hardened stainless splines that take that pressure instead, and it is the Anti-Bite label on our Shimano HG driver choice.
  • Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.
  • A freehub you can change later. Each model lists its own freehub bodies, such as Shimano, Campagnolo, XDR or XD, and Bitex publishes videos showing how to swap one. Moving to a new drivetrain can mean a new freehub body and not a new hub.

Check before you order

  • Tires. The ARX-W 35, ARX-W 45, ARX-W 65, Alpha 45G, Alpha 50, Alpha 55G, CGX 35, CGX 45, CGX 60, CRX 33, CRX 45, CRX 55, CRX 70, CRX-W 45, CRX-W 60, Ocean 45G, RX 35, RX 40, RX 45, RX 50, RX 60, Ripple 40 and Ripple 50 are hooked; every other Nextie rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

Nextie and Bitex custom wheel questions

Which Bitex hub fits my Nextie rim?

The cards on this page start on the Bitex hub our customers build with each rim most often (Bitex BX 106, Bitex BX 211). The builder lists every Bitex hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build Nextie rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our Nextie custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Nextie rim, or our Bitex custom wheel page for every rim on a Bitex hub.

Can you build with a Bitex hub or Nextie 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.
