NOX Composites Wheels with Velocity Hubs

Gravel in depth

NOX Composites Skyline wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our gravel pick from the NOX Composites and Velocity parts we build with. The NOX Composites Skyline is a hookless carbon rim, 23mm inside, 22mm deep, about 345 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 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.
• 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

NOX Composites Teocalli wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the NOX Composites and Velocity 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 Velocity Race 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.
• 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

NOX Composites Falkor 36D wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our road pick from the NOX Composites and Velocity 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 Velocity Standard Atb 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.
• 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.
