Spank Wheels with Wolf Tooth Hubs
Custom Spank Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs
Pick a Spank 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 Spank rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:
- Made by specialists: Spank rims made in Spank's own factory, Fratelli Industries
- Proven: Spank's Vibrocore damps trail vibration and raises fatigue life; 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; Spank shotpeens the surface rather than machining metal away
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop

Mountain in depth
Spank Spike Race 33 wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs
Our mountain pick from the Spank and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs (rear wheel) 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.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Spank 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 Spank rims and Wolf Tooth 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.
- 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.
Spank and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions
Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my Spank 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 Spank rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Spank custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Spank 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 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.
