Stan's NoTubes Wheels with Velocity Hubs
Custom Stan's NoTubes Wheels on Velocity Hubs
Pick a Stan's NoTubes rim we carry, put it on a Velocity hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Stan's NoTubes rims on Velocity hubs:
- Proven: Stan's patented Bead Socket rims helped make tubeless mountain biking mainstream; Velocity built its Race hubs with extra sealing for cyclocross mud
- Built to last: Velocity disc fronts convert between three axle standards
- More than 20 Stan's NoTubes wheels on Velocity hubs in our build records since 2009, each laced and trued by hand in Georgia
- In depth below: Flow EX3 mountain

Mountain in depth
Stan's NoTubes Flow EX3 wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Stan's NoTubes and Velocity 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 Velocity Race Centerlock 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.
- Extra sealing on the Race hubs. Velocity designed the Race line with cyclocross in mind and gave it improved double-bearing seals for added protection, which suits wheels that spend their lives in mud.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Stan's NoTubes wheels on Velocity hubs
Our order records show more than 20 Stan's NoTubes wheels laced to Velocity 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 Stan's NoTubes rims and Velocity 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.
- One front hub, three axle standards. Velocity's convertible disc front hubs include the parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru axle and 15mm thru axle, so a new fork does not have to mean a new hub.
- Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
- Bearings with nothing to adjust. Most Velocity hubs use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals, and Velocity sets the preload for you. It is clear that sealed does not mean waterproof, so a hub that has been pressure washed or submerged needs a mechanic's attention.
Stan's NoTubes and Velocity custom wheel questions
Which Velocity hub fits my Stan's NoTubes rim?
The cards on this page start on the Velocity hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velocity Race Centerlock). The builder lists every Velocity 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 Velocity custom wheel page for every rim on a Velocity hub.
Can you build with a Velocity 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.
