Velo Orange Wheels with Surly Hubs
Custom Velo Orange Wheels on Surly Hubs
Pick a Velo Orange rim we carry, put it on a Surly hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Velo Orange rims on Surly hubs:
- Proven: Velo Orange publishes the spoke tension limits for its rims; Surly knurls the hardware so the wheel won't slip under load
- Built to last: Surly sells axle kits, so worn internals renew with the hub still laced
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Enterprise road

Road in depth
Velo Orange Enterprise wheels on Surly Ultra New hubs
Our road pick from the Velo Orange and Surly parts we build with. The Velo Orange Enterprise is a hooked aluminum rim, 16.3mm inside, 18mm deep, about 530 grams in 700c, sized for about 23 to 28mm tires. We lace it to Surly Ultra New hubs in 32 hole.
- The Enterprise in 700c and 27 inch. It fits 25 to 38mm tires. Velo Orange is dropping eyelets as stock turns over: the 700c no longer has them, and the 27 inch keeps stainless eyelets until current stock runs out.
- A hollow axle with two ways to mount. Ultra New hubs come with thread-in fixing bolts that tighten with a 6mm hex wrench. Take the bolts out, slide in a quick release skewer, and the same hub is QR, with no conversion kit needed.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Velo Orange wheels on Surly 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 Surly 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.
- A hollow axle with two ways to mount. Ultra New hubs come with thread-in fixing bolts that tighten with a 6mm hex wrench. Take the bolts out, slide in a quick release skewer, and the same hub is QR, with no conversion kit needed.
- Knurled hardware that grips the frame. The stainless bolt caps and cone nuts are heavily knurled for bite, which Surly says reduces the chance of the wheel slipping in the frame under high load. That matters on a fixed or single-speed bike, where the axle sits in a horizontal dropout.
- Steel where it carries the load. The axle is CroMoly steel and the fixing bolts are 10.9 stainless, chosen by Surly for strength and corrosion resistance. The cones and dust caps interlock, which Surly says keeps the axle stiff.
Velo Orange and Surly custom wheel questions
Which Surly hub fits my Velo Orange rim?
The cards on this page start on the Surly hub our customers build with each rim most often (Surly Ultra New). The builder lists every Surly 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 Surly custom wheel page for every rim on a Surly hub.
Can you build with a Surly 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.
