Race Face Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Race Face Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs

Pick a Race Face 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 Race Face rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:

  • Proven: Race Face puts its gear under world-class riders on the North Shore before release; 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; Race Face replaces a rim broken while riding for life, crashes included
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: ARC Offset 30 mountain

Mountain in depth

Race Face ARC Offset 30 wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

Our mountain pick from the Race Face and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs (rear wheel) 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.
  • 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.

Race Face rims on Wolf Tooth hubs for mountain bikes

Each card opens our custom wheel builder with the rim and hub for a rear wheel already picked, on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers choose most with that rim. The builder offers every Wolf Tooth hub that fits, and you choose the colors, spokes and the rest.

More about Race Face and Wolf Tooth wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Race Face 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 Race Face rims and Wolf Tooth hubs each bring

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Unidirectional carbon on the ARC Carbon. Race Face tunes the unidirectional layup to balance lightness, stiffness and durability. The 31 and 36mm widths cover riding from cross-country to all-mountain.
  • 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.

Race Face and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions

Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Race Face rim?

The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (Wolf Tooth Mountain). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build Race Face rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our Race Face custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Race Face 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 Race Face 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.
