NOX Composites Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

NOX Composites custom wheel built by ProWheelBuilder

Custom NOX Composites Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs

Pick a NOX Composites rim we carry, put it on an Industry Nine hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build NOX Composites rims on Industry Nine hubs:

  • Made by specialists: NOX Composites rims designed and tested in Knoxville, Tennessee, with Toray carbon, on Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
  • Proven: NOX thickens the bead with its RockGuard layup against impacts; Industry Nine built the Hydra2 from feedback on over 100,000 ridden hubs
  • Built to last: Industry Nine's classic hubs take standard J-bend spokes and service without proprietary tools; NOX warrants its rims for as long as the original owner has them, with two years of rock strike cover
  • More than 70 NOX Composites wheels on Industry Nine hubs in our build records since 2009, each laced and trued by hand in Georgia
  • In depth below: Citico gravel · Teocalli mountain · Falkor 36D road

Gravel in depth

NOX Composites Citico wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our gravel pick from the NOX Composites and Industry Nine parts we build with. The NOX Composites Citico is a hooked carbon rim, 23mm inside, 25mm deep, about 380 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

  • Anti-Burp Bump. A slight rise between the center channel and the bead seat helps a tubeless tire seal during setup. Once seated, it resists the bead moving inward, which NOX says makes burping less likely on a bad landing or at low pressure.
  • The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Mountain in depth

NOX Composites Teocalli wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the NOX Composites and Industry Nine parts we build with. The NOX Composites Teocalli is a hookless carbon rim, 26mm inside, 22mm deep, about 385 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.1 to 2.4 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

  • RockGuard bead. NOX calls the bead the most vulnerable part of a carbon rim, so it adds thickness there and orients the surface fibers to resist impact, and says the layup limits delamination if a crack starts. Its RockGuard HL mountain rims also leave out the bead hook, because forming one creates a weak spot, with a recommended 45 psi limit.
  • Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.

Road in depth

NOX Composites Falkor 36D wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our road pick from the NOX Composites and Industry Nine parts we build with. The NOX Composites Falkor 36D is a hooked carbon rim, 20mm inside, 36mm deep, about 425 grams in 700c, sized for about 25 to 32mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

  • Rock strike coverage. NOX warrants its rims against defects for as long as the original owner has them. It also has a two-year rock and road strike policy for the rim, though the owner may pay for labor, parts or shipping.
  • SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

More about NOX Composites and Industry Nine wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built NOX Composites wheels on Industry Nine hubs

Our order records show more than 70 NOX Composites wheels laced to Industry Nine hubs since 2009. 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 NOX Composites rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring

  • UniWeave layup. NOX stacks two carbon fabrics: woven 3K around the spoke, valve and nipple access holes, and unidirectional fiber for the core strength. NOX says the combination improves strength and durability at a given weight.
  • RockGuard bead. NOX calls the bead the most vulnerable part of a carbon rim, so it adds thickness there and orients the surface fibers to resist impact, and says the layup limits delamination if a crack starts. Its RockGuard HL mountain rims also leave out the bead hook, because forming one creates a weak spot, with a recommended 45 psi limit.
  • Anti-Burp Bump. A slight rise between the center channel and the bead seat helps a tubeless tire seal during setup. Once seated, it resists the bead moving inward, which NOX says makes burping less likely on a bad landing or at low pressure.
  • Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.
  • Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
  • SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

Check before you order

  • Tires. The Falkor 36D, Falkor 55D and Citico are hooked; every other NOX Composites rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

NOX Composites and Industry Nine custom wheel questions

Which Industry Nine hub fits my NOX Composites rim?

The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine 1/1 Road, Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build NOX Composites rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our NOX Composites custom wheel page for every hub that fits each NOX Composites rim, or our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.

Can you build with an Industry Nine hub or NOX Composites 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.
