Stan's NoTubes Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs
Custom Stan's NoTubes Wheels on Velo Orange Hubs
Pick a Stan's NoTubes rim we carry, put it on a Velo Orange hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Stan's NoTubes rims on Velo Orange hubs:
- Proven: Stan's patented Bead Socket rims helped make tubeless mountain biking mainstream
- Built to last: Velo Orange Chronos rears come apart with no tools, so a broken spoke on tour does not end the trip
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Flow EX3 mountain

Mountain in depth
Stan's NoTubes Flow EX3 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs
Our mountain pick from the Stan's NoTubes and Velo Orange parts we build with. The Stan's NoTubes Flow EX3 is a hooked aluminum rim, 29mm inside, 17.9mm deep, about 618 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.
- Tiebeam on the Flow EX3. An inner bridge makes a triple-cavity section that resists the sidewall folding that causes air loss after a big hit. Stan's aims this 6069 aluminum rim at enduro, downhill and the added weight of e-bikes.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Stan's NoTubes wheels on Velo Orange 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 Stan's NoTubes rims and Velo Orange hubs each bring
- Bead Socket Technology. Stan's patented rim shape holds the tire by its bead rather than its sidewall, so the sidewall can expand to a rounder profile. Stan's says that means more traction and less rolling resistance than a conventional shape, which drives the bead deeper and restricts tire volume.
- Low sidewalls. Bead Socket rims have lower sidewalls than conventional rims. Stan's says that leaves them less exposed, and makes the rim lighter and stronger.
- Spoke offset set by rim width. On MK4 rims the spoke holes sit 1.5mm off center on the 25mm Crest, 2.5mm on the 28mm Arch and 3mm on the 30mm Flow. Stan's reports 92 percent drive to non-drive tension balance on the Crest MK4, against 58 percent on the symmetric MK3.
- 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.
- 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.
- High flanges that make room for big bearings. The 58mm flanges leave space for large sealed cartridge bearings. Velo Orange chose this layout for long tours and commuting through grit and rain.
Stan's NoTubes and Velo Orange custom wheel questions
Which Velo Orange hub fits my Stan's NoTubes rim?
The cards on this page start on the Velo Orange hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velo Orange Chronos Disc). The builder lists every Velo Orange hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Stan's NoTubes rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Stan's NoTubes custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Stan's NoTubes rim, or our Velo Orange custom wheel page for every rim on a Velo Orange hub.
Can you build with a Velo Orange hub or Stan's NoTubes 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.
