NOX Composites Wheels with White Industries Hubs

Gravel in depth

NOX Composites Skyline wheels on White Industries CLD hubs

Our gravel pick from the NOX Composites and White Industries 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 White Industries CLD 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.
• Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.

NOX Composites Teocalli wheels on White Industries CLD hubs

Our mountain pick from the NOX Composites and White Industries 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 White Industries CLD 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.
• Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.

NOX Composites Falkor 36D wheels on White Industries CLD hubs

The road pair our customers build most on this page, with 14 in our build records. 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 White Industries CLD hubs in 24 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 design with a long record. These hubs descend from the Ti Cassette rear hub of 1992, which White Industries says was the lightest on the market at the time. It says that cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged for 30 years.
