PWB Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs
Custom PWB Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs
Pick a PWB rim we carry, put it on a Wolf Tooth hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build PWB rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:
- Proven: we chose each PWB rim after building a lot of wheels on it; Wolf Tooth drives through ENVE's 42mm INNERDRIVE steel ratchet
- Built to last: Wolf Tooth sells every hub part separately and sets bearing preload automatically
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Ventus 45CDW Carbon road

Road in depth
PWB Ventus 45CDW Carbon wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs
Our road pick from the PWB and Wolf Tooth parts we build with. The PWB Ventus 45CDW Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 22mm inside, 45mm deep, about 460 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs in 24 hole.
- One 45mm road depth, three widths. Every Ventus is 45mm deep, the depth we picked to balance aero, weight and crosswind manners. The 45C is 17mm inside, the 45CD is 18mm for 25 to 32mm tires, and the 45CDW is 22mm for 28 to 35mm tires.
- A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built PWB wheels on Wolf Tooth 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 PWB rims and Wolf Tooth hubs each bring
- Chosen by the people who build with them. We do not manufacture these rims. We specify them, test them and put our name on them after building a lot of wheels of each type, and we build them into finished wheels here.
- One 45mm road depth, three widths. Every Ventus is 45mm deep, the depth we picked to balance aero, weight and crosswind manners. The 45C is 17mm inside, the 45CD is 18mm for 25 to 32mm tires, and the 45CDW is 22mm for 28 to 35mm tires.
- Shaped for the tire on it. The Ventus section is wide at the bead so a 28mm tire flows into the rim, and rounded so the airflow stays attached in a gust. That is what keeps the wheel calm in a crosswind.
- A 42mm steel ratchet. Wolf Tooth tried several drive systems and settled on ENVE's INNERDRIVE. It says the large ring diameter lowers the stress on each tooth, so the hub can run more teeth without giving up durability.
- Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.
- A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.
Check before you order
- Tires. The Ventus 45CD Carbon is hooked; every other PWB rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.
PWB and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions
Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my PWB rim?
The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build PWB rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our PWB custom wheel page for every hub that fits each PWB rim, or our Wolf Tooth custom wheel page for every rim on a Wolf Tooth hub.
Can you build with a Wolf Tooth hub or PWB 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.
