Velo Orange Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs
Custom Velo Orange Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick a Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- Made by specialists: Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: Velo Orange publishes the spoke tension limits for its rims; 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: Orbital gravel · Voyager road

Gravel in depth
Velo Orange Orbital wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs
Our gravel pick from the Velo Orange and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Velo Orange Orbital is a hooked aluminum rim, 27mm inside, 19mm deep, about 447 grams in 700c, sized for about 40mm to 2.2 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.
- The Orbital for big tires. A 27mm internal width supports 45mm to 2.5 inch tires, and Velo Orange says that lets you run lower pressures without tire squirm. It is disc only and comes in sizes from 20 inch to 32 inch.
- The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Road in depth
Velo Orange Voyager wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our road pick from the Velo Orange and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Velo Orange Voyager is a hooked aluminum rim, 22.1mm inside, 19mm deep, about 638 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs (front wheel) in 32 hole.
- Published tension limits. Velo Orange recommends 110 kgf on the Voyager and 90 to 110 kgf on the Enterprise, and says not to exceed 115 kgf on either. Those numbers tell a builder how hard each rim can be tensioned.
- 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 Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange rims and Industry Nine hubs each bring
- A polished box section. The Voyager and Enterprise use a classic box section shape with a high polish, which suits a traditional bike.
- One rim for rim or disc brakes. The double wall Voyager is rated for both and takes 38mm to 2.4 inch tires, so a tourer or commuter does not have to commit to one brake type.
- Tubeless with a tire note. The Voyager is tubeless compatible, but its tight tolerances mean Velo Orange recommends folding bead tires only. The Enterprise is not tubeless, so it runs a tube.
- 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.
Velo Orange and Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Velo Orange 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, Industry Nine 1/1 Road). The builder lists every Industry Nine hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Velo Orange rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Velo Orange custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange 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.
