Spank Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs
Custom Spank Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick a Spank 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 Spank rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- Made by specialists: Spank rims made in Spank's own factory, Fratelli Industries, on Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: Spank's Vibrocore damps trail vibration and raises fatigue life; 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; Spank shotpeens the surface rather than machining metal away
- More than 20 Spank wheels on Industry Nine hubs in our build records since 2009, each laced and trued by hand in Georgia

Mountain in depth
Spank Spike Race 33 wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Spank and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Spank Spike Race 33 is a hooked aluminum rim, 28mm inside, 22mm deep, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.
- Sacred Geometry on the 369. A hollow bead wall improves lateral and vertical strength, Spank says, and its extra width reduces pinch flats and raises impact resistance. The 369 is 39mm outside on the same 30.5mm inner width as the 359.
- 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.

More about Spank and Industry Nine wheels
Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Spank wheels on Industry Nine hubs
Our order records show more than 20 Spank wheels laced to Industry Nine hubs since 2009. 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 Spank rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- A low, radially compliant section. The 359 and 369 stand 19mm tall and are meant to give a little under load. Spank says that improves traction over bumps and chatter and reduces harsh feedback, while the wide shape holds lateral stiffness.
- Vibrocore in the inner well. On the Vibrocore versions, Spank injects Vibrocore into the rim's inner well. Spank says this cuts vibration reaching the suspension and rider, adds torsional strength and increases fatigue life.
- OohBah rim center. Spank corrugates the center of the rim, which it says adds strength and rigidity. That lets the rim be wider without adding material.
- 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.
Spank and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Spank rim?
The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Spank rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Spank custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Spank 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 Spank 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.
