Velocity Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

Gravel in depth

Velocity Cliffhanger wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our gravel pick from the Velocity and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Velocity Cliffhanger is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 21.6mm deep, about 675 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

• Tubeless only where it is designed in. Rims listed as tubeless ready have tight tolerances at the bead and call for thin Velotape. Velocity says any rim not listed that way must run tubes, so check the model before you pick a tire setup.
• 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.

Velocity Dually wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Velocity and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Velocity Dually is a hooked aluminum rim, 39mm inside, 18mm deep, about 675 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.8 to 3.0 inch plus tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• Spoke holes angled for the lacing. Holes are drilled at about 4 degrees and alternate between the left and right flange, so each nipple points closer to where its spoke is headed. The Atlas is the only rim Velocity eyelets.
• 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.

Velocity Aileron wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our road pick from the Velocity and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Velocity Aileron is a hooked aluminum rim, 20mm inside, 28mm deep, about 480 grams in 700c, sized for about 25 to 32mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 hole.

• A published chart of sizes and strength. Velocity's model matrix runs from 16 inch to 32 inch and rates each rim from Featherweight to Strongest with an optimal tire width, which makes rims easy to compare. The builder shows which sizes we offer for each rim.
• 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.
