Surly Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs
Custom Surly Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick a Surly 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 Surly rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- Made by specialists: Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: Surly built the Clown Royal around the 6.2 inch tire on its own Moonlander; 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
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: My Other Brother Darryl fat bike

Fat bike in depth
Surly My Other Brother Darryl wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our fat bike pick from the Surly and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Surly My Other Brother Darryl is a hooked aluminum rim, 76.8mm inside, 16.1mm deep, sized for about 3.8 to 5 inch fat bike tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.
- Width that adds float. My Other Brother Darryl is 80mm across the outside. Surly says the wider footprint gives more flotation and traction than a narrower rim.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Surly wheels on Industry Nine 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 Surly rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- Width that adds float. My Other Brother Darryl is 80mm across the outside. Surly says the wider footprint gives more flotation and traction than a narrower rim.
- A 100mm rim made for one tire. Surly designed the Clown Royal for the 6.2 inch Molenda tire on the Moonlander. It chose a 24 inch diameter to get the most tire volume that frame can hold.
- Two drilling choices on the Darryl. It comes as a 32-hole symmetric rim, or with Surly's 64-hole Dual pattern, which lets a builder lace a centered wheel or an offset one. Surly lists a 15mm rim center offset.
- 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.
Surly and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Surly 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 Surly rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Surly custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Surly 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 Surly 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.
