Nextie Wheels with Velocity Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Nextie Wheels on Velocity Hubs

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

Why build Nextie rims on Velocity hubs:

  • Proven: Nextie measures every rim and ships it with a card showing its flatness and roundness; Velocity built its Race hubs with extra sealing for cyclocross mud
  • Built to last: Velocity disc fronts convert between three axle standards; 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 Velocity Race 6-bolt hubs

Our gravel pick from the Nextie and Velocity 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 Velocity Race 6-bolt hubs (front wheel) 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.
  • Extra sealing on the Race hubs. Velocity designed the Race line with cyclocross in mind and gave it improved double-bearing seals for added protection, which suits wheels that spend their lives in mud.

Mountain in depth

Nextie AM 40 wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Nextie and Velocity 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 Velocity Race 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.
  • Fronts made for radial lacing. Velocity designs its front hubs so they can be laced radially where the wheel allows it. It says radial spokes add lateral rigidity and save a little weight.

Road in depth

Nextie CRX 33 wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our road pick from the Nextie and Velocity 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 Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 hole.

  • Service Velocity shows you how to do. Pawls in the cassette body carry your power to the wheel, and Velocity suggests inspecting and lubricating them at least once a year. It publishes videos showing how to change the axle and cassette body.

Questions about these builds

Which Nextie rim should I build on Velocity hubs?

For gravel, the ARX-W 35 (25mm inside) on Velocity Race 6-bolt hubs; for mountain, the AM 40 (34mm inside) on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs; for road, the CRX 33 (21mm inside) on Velocity Standard Atb hubs. Each one opens the builder from its section above, and the cards below cover every Nextie rim that fits a Velocity hub.

More about Nextie and Velocity wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Nextie wheels on Velocity 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 Velocity 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.
  • One front hub, three axle standards. Velocity's convertible disc front hubs include the parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru axle and 15mm thru axle, so a new fork does not have to mean a new hub.
  • Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
  • Bearings with nothing to adjust. Most Velocity hubs use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals, and Velocity sets the preload for you. It is clear that sealed does not mean waterproof, so a hub that has been pressure washed or submerged needs a mechanic's attention.

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 Velocity custom wheel questions

Which Velocity hub fits my Nextie rim?

The cards on this page start on the Velocity hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velocity Race 6-bolt, Velocity Standard Atb, Velocity Race Centerlock). The builder lists every Velocity 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 Velocity custom wheel page for every rim on a Velocity hub.

Can you build with a Velocity 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.
