Spank Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs

Gravel in depth

Spank Spike Race 33 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Spank and Velo Orange parts we build with. The Spank Spike Race 33 is a hooked aluminum rim, 28mm inside, 22mm deep, sized for about 40mm to 2.2 inch tires. We lace it to Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs in 32 hole.

• Bead Bite. This is Spank's patented anti-burp design at the bead. It is there to keep the tire in place and hold pressure, including at lower pressures.
• A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

Spank 359 Spike Vibracore wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Spank and Velo Orange parts we build with. The Spank 359 Spike Vibracore is a hooked aluminum rim, 30.5mm inside, 19mm deep, about 610 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Velo Orange Chronos Disc 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.
• Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.
