Reserve Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Reserve Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs

Pick a Reserve 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 Reserve rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:

  • Proven: Reserve shaped its road rims from 1,500 miles of real-world wind data; 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; 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our gravel pick from the Reserve and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull 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.
  • Straight-pull drilling made for the spoke. On the road and gravel hubs, the spoke holes are shaped to stop straight-pull spokes from twisting and to keep them from touching. Wolf Tooth also keeps spoke lengths consistent across a wheelset, which simplifies carrying a spare.

Mountain in depth

Reserve 30 HD Aluminum wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

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

Road in depth

Reserve 34 TA wheels on Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull hubs

Our road pick from the Reserve and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Road Gravel Straight Pull 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.
  • 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.

More about Reserve and Wolf Tooth wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

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

Reserve and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions

Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Reserve 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, 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 Reserve rims on other hubs?

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