Race Face Wheels with Velocity Hubs

Gravel in depth

Race Face ARC Offset 25 wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our gravel pick from the Race Face and Velocity parts we build with. The Race Face ARC Offset 25 is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 19.5mm deep, about 450 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 hole.

• Two aluminum alloys, one set of widths. AR rims are 6061 aluminum and ARC rims are 6069, which Race Face picks for its strength-to-weight ratio. Both come in 25, 30, 35 and 40mm inner widths, so you choose the width for the tire and the alloy separately.
• 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.

Race Face ARC Offset 30 wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Race Face and Velocity parts we build with. The Race Face ARC Offset 30 is a hooked aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 20.5mm deep, about 525 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Velocity Race Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• Offset nipple bed. Race Face moves the nipple bed 4.5mm off center on the AR and ARC rims wider than 25mm and on the ARC Carbon 31 and 36. It says this optimizes spoke tension and makes the wheel stiffer and stronger.
• 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.
