Nextie Wheels with Onyx Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Nextie Wheels on Onyx Hubs

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

Why build Nextie rims on Onyx hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Onyx hubs machined in Minnesota
  • Proven: Nextie measures every rim and ships it with a card showing its flatness and roundness; Onyx drives through a sprag clutch, with no teeth to skip
  • Built to last: Onyx hubs coast silently, with no pawls to wear; 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock 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.
  • Standard spokes and rotor mounts. For all the unusual drive, these are J-bend hubs that take standard J-bend spokes, the easiest kind to find anywhere. Vesper and MTB disc models come in Centerlock and 6-bolt.

Mountain in depth

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock 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.
  • A weight trade-off. These hubs are heavier than pawl hubs, so they suit riders who want the engagement and the silence enough to carry the extra grams.

Road in depth

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Onyx 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 Onyx Vesper Centerlock hubs in 24 hole.

  • Bearings chosen for low drag. Onyx fits premium-grade bearings front and rear, and credits them with very low rolling resistance on both wheels.

More about Nextie and Onyx wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Nextie wheels on Onyx 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 Onyx 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.
  • A patented sprag clutch instead of pawls. Onyx hubs drive through a sprag clutch, not pawls and a toothed ring. With no teeth in the drive, there are none to skip.
  • Power that does not wait for a tooth. Onyx says the hub carries your pedaling to the rear wheel instantly, for faster acceleration and more control. There is no gap between teeth to cross before it picks up.
  • Silent coasting. Taking out the pawls also takes out the sound they make against the teeth, and removes the play that comes with them. The wheel coasts quietly.

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 Onyx custom wheel questions

Which Onyx hub fits my Nextie rim?

The cards on this page start on the Onyx hub our customers build with each rim most often (Onyx Vesper Centerlock). The builder lists every Onyx 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 Onyx custom wheel page for every rim on an Onyx hub.

Can you build with an Onyx 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.
