NOX Composites Wheels with Surly Hubs
Custom NOX Composites Wheels on Surly Hubs
Pick a NOX Composites rim we carry, put it on a Surly hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build NOX Composites rims on Surly hubs:
- Made by specialists: NOX Composites rims designed and tested in Knoxville, Tennessee, with Toray carbon
- Proven: NOX thickens the bead with its RockGuard layup against impacts; Surly knurls the hardware so the wheel won't slip under load
- Built to last: Surly sells axle kits, so worn internals renew with the hub still laced; NOX warrants its rims for as long as the original owner has them, with two years of rock strike cover
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Falkor 36R road

Road in depth
NOX Composites Falkor 36R wheels on Surly Ultra New hubs
Our road pick from the NOX Composites and Surly parts we build with. The NOX Composites Falkor 36R is a hooked carbon rim, 20.5mm inside, 36mm deep, about 415 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Surly Ultra New hubs in 32 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.
- A hollow axle with two ways to mount. Ultra New hubs come with thread-in fixing bolts that tighten with a 6mm hex wrench. Take the bolts out, slide in a quick release skewer, and the same hub is QR, with no conversion kit needed.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built NOX Composites wheels on Surly 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 NOX Composites rims and Surly 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.
- A hollow axle with two ways to mount. Ultra New hubs come with thread-in fixing bolts that tighten with a 6mm hex wrench. Take the bolts out, slide in a quick release skewer, and the same hub is QR, with no conversion kit needed.
- Knurled hardware that grips the frame. The stainless bolt caps and cone nuts are heavily knurled for bite, which Surly says reduces the chance of the wheel slipping in the frame under high load. That matters on a fixed or single-speed bike, where the axle sits in a horizontal dropout.
- Steel where it carries the load. The axle is CroMoly steel and the fixing bolts are 10.9 stainless, chosen by Surly for strength and corrosion resistance. The cones and dust caps interlock, which Surly says keeps the axle stiff.
NOX Composites and Surly custom wheel questions
Which Surly hub fits my NOX Composites rim?
The cards on this page start on the Surly hub our customers build with each rim most often (Surly Ultra New). The builder lists every Surly 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 Surly custom wheel page for every rim on a Surly hub.
Can you build with a Surly 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.
