Nextie Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs

Gravel in depth

Nextie CGX 35 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Velo Orange parts we build with. The Nextie CGX 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs in 28 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.
• A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos 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.
• Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs in 28 hole.

• End caps that change the fit. The rear disc hub runs 135mm quick release or 142mm thru axle, the rim brake rear runs 130mm or 135mm, and the disc front takes quick release, 12mm or 15mm, with the end caps included. That helps when a wheel moves to another frame or fork.
