Nextie Wheels with Phil Wood Hubs

Gravel in depth

Nextie ARX-W 35 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro 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.
• Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc 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 cassette mechanism with five double-row pawls. Heat-treated stainless pawls engage a 40-tooth ratchet ring in a hard anodized 7075 body. Phil says some backpedal resistance is normal for up to 350 miles of break-in, and it suggests servicing the mechanism at least every three months.

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs in 24 hole.

• Classic or Pro. The Pro swaps the Classic's stainless axle and end caps for 7075 aluminum, which Phil says cuts about 34 percent of the weight on its road hubs, depending on the configuration. Check the rating before you choose: Phil lists 280 pounds of rider and bike on Classic hubs and 190 pounds on Pro.
