Nextie Wheels with Chris King Hubs

Gravel in depth

Nextie ARX-W 35 wheels on Chris King R45 Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Chris King 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 Chris King R45 Disc 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.
• Service without special tools. Take out the snap ring and seal, clean and regrease, and the bearing is ready to go again. A complete rebuild uses Chris King's own hub service tools.

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Chris King MTB 6-bolt hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Chris King 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 Chris King MTB 6-bolt 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.
• Every tooth engages at once. Two heat-treated stainless steel rings mesh at 72 points on mountain hubs and 45 on the R45, all at the same moment. Chris King rates the system above 800 foot-pounds of torque and says that is three times the other high-end hubs it tested.

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Chris King R45 Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Chris King 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 Chris King R45 Disc hubs in 24 hole.

• Matched bearing races. The inner and outer steel races are machined at the same time, with tools of equal wear, so the two match. Chris King says the bearing tracks burnish with use and get faster with age.
