Why build Velo Orange rims on White Industries hubs:
- Made by specialists: White Industries hubs machined, assembled and inspected in Petaluma, California
- Proven: Velo Orange publishes the spoke tension limits for its rims; 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

Gravel in depth
Velo Orange Orbital wheels on White Industries XMR hubs
Our gravel pick from the Velo Orange and White Industries 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 White Industries XMR 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.
- 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.

Road in depth
Velo Orange Voyager wheels on White Industries XMR hubs
The road pair our customers build most on this page, with 5 in our build records. 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 White Industries XMR 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.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Velo Orange wheels on White Industries hubs
Our order records show more than 20 Velo Orange wheels laced to White Industries hubs since 2009. 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 White Industries 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.
- 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.
Velo Orange and White Industries custom wheel questions
Which White Industries hub fits my Velo Orange rim?
The cards on this page start on the White Industries hub our customers build with each rim most often (White Industries MI5 Racer, White Industries XMR). The builder lists every White Industries 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 White Industries custom wheel page for every rim on a White Industries hub.
Can you build with a White Industries 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.
