Reserve Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Reserve Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs

Pick a Reserve rim we carry, put it on an Industry Nine hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Reserve rims on Industry Nine hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
  • Proven: Reserve shaped its road rims from 1,500 miles of real-world wind data; Industry Nine built the Hydra2 from feedback on over 100,000 ridden hubs
  • Built to last: Industry Nine's classic hubs take standard J-bend spokes and service without proprietary tools; Reserve repairs or replaces rims damaged by riding, for the life of the rim
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: 25 GR gravel · 30 HD Aluminum mountain · 34 TA road

Gravel in depth

Reserve 25 GR wheels on Industry Nine Solix CL hubs

Our gravel pick from the Reserve and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Reserve 25 GR is a hooked carbon rim, 25mm inside, 18mm deep, about 350 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Solix CL hubs in 24 hole.

  • Semi-hooked road beads. Reserve says hookless rims limit tire choice and pressure, while full hooks add weight and make tubeless tires harder to fit. Its road rims sit between the two, with no tire incompatibility and a 100 psi limit.
  • SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

Mountain in depth

Reserve 30 HD Aluminum wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Reserve and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Reserve 30 HD Aluminum is a hookless aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 22mm deep, about 580 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

  • A warranty that covers riding damage. Reserve repairs or replaces, at its option, any of its rims damaged or destroyed by riding, for the life of the rim and for the original owner. On aluminum rims it names a dent that stops the rim holding air, seam separation and a crack at a spoke hole as covered.
  • The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Road in depth

Reserve 34 TA wheels on Industry Nine Solix CL hubs

Our road pick from the Reserve and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Reserve 34 TA is a hooked carbon rim, 22.8mm inside, 34mm deep, about 335 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Solix CL hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

  • Different rims front and rear. Crosswind on the front wheel affects steering, so a front rim such as the 34 is slightly shorter, wider and rounder. The rear sits partly sheltered by the frame and rider, so a rear rim such as the 37 is taller and narrower to cut drag.
  • Steel spokes on the classic hubs. The hubs on this page are the versions built for J-bend steel spokes, with scalloped flanges on the Hydra2 and SOLiX. That is what leaves the choice of spoke gauge and color open to you, instead of Industry Nine's aluminum System spokes.

Questions about these builds

Which Reserve rim should I build on Industry Nine hubs?

For gravel, the 25 GR (25mm inside) on Industry Nine Solix CL hubs; for mountain, the 30 HD Aluminum (30mm inside) on Industry Nine 1/1 MTB Centerlock hubs; for road, the 34 TA (22.8mm inside) on Industry Nine Solix CL hubs. Each one opens the builder from its section above, and the cards below cover every Reserve rim that fits an Industry Nine hub.

More about Reserve and Industry Nine wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Reserve wheels on Industry Nine 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 Reserve rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring

  • A warranty that covers riding damage. Reserve repairs or replaces, at its option, any of its rims damaged or destroyed by riding, for the life of the rim and for the original owner. On aluminum rims it names a dent that stops the rim holding air, seam separation and a crack at a spoke hole as covered.
  • Wind measured on real roads. For what it calls Turbulent Aero, Reserve logged more than 1,500 miles of wind data across the USA and Europe with sensors on a scooter, then recreated those conditions in the wind tunnel. Earlier practice, it says, was mostly testing air from the front.
  • Different rims front and rear. Crosswind on the front wheel affects steering, so a front rim such as the 34 is slightly shorter, wider and rounder. The rear sits partly sheltered by the frame and rider, so a rear rim such as the 37 is taller and narrower to cut drag.
  • Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.
  • Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
  • SOLiX and continuous phasing. Five pawls work against a 121-tooth drive ring for 605 points of engagement, or 0.59 degrees. Industry Nine says power arrives at once and then loads progressively, in a light hub for cross-country, gravel and road.

Check before you order

  • Tires. The 25 GR, 34 TA, 37 TA, 34 TA SL, 37 TA SL, 40 GR, 42 TA SL, 44 GR, 49 TA SL, 77 TA, 88 TA and 30 GR Aluminum are hooked; every other Reserve rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

Reserve and Industry Nine custom wheel questions

Which Industry Nine hub fits my Reserve rim?

The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine Solix CL, Industry Nine 1/1 Road, Industry Nine 1/1 MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build Reserve rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our Reserve custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Reserve rim, or our Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.

Can you build with an Industry Nine hub or Reserve 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.
