Velo Orange Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs

Gravel in depth

Velo Orange Orbital wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Velo Orange and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc 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.
• A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

Velo Orange Voyager wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our road pick from the Velo Orange and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs 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.
• Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.
