Surly Wheels with White Industries Hubs
Custom Surly Wheels on White Industries Hubs
Pick a Surly rim we carry, put it on a White Industries hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Surly rims on White Industries hubs:
- Made by specialists: White Industries hubs machined, assembled and inspected in Petaluma, California
- Proven: Surly built the Clown Royal around the 6.2 inch tire on its own Moonlander; White Industries' cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged since 1992
- Built to last: White Industries stocks parts for older hubs and gives a five-year warranty
- 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 White Industries CLD hubs
Our fat bike pick from the Surly and White Industries 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 White Industries CLD 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.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Surly wheels on White Industries 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 White Industries 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.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.
- Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.
- A design with a long record. These hubs descend from the Ti Cassette rear hub of 1992, which White Industries says was the lightest on the market at the time. It says that cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged for 30 years.
Surly and White Industries custom wheel questions
Which White Industries hub fits my Surly rim?
The cards on this page start on the White Industries hub our customers build with each rim most often (White Industries CLD). The builder lists every White Industries 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 White Industries custom wheel page for every rim on a White Industries hub.
Can you build with a White Industries 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.
