Convergence We Are 1 Wheels with Bitex Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Convergence We Are 1 Wheels on Bitex Hubs

Pick a Convergence We Are 1 rim we carry, put it on a Bitex hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build Convergence We Are 1 rims on Bitex hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Convergence We Are 1 rims laid up by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, each with its own serial number, on Bitex hubs made in Bitex's family factory in Taichung, Taiwan
  • Proven: WR1 credits the Z-axis film in its spoke bed for a rim 32 percent stronger than the last generation; Bitex patented the hardened Gouge Guard splines that stop cassettes biting the freehub
  • Built to last: Bitex freehubs and axle ends swap to follow your next drivetrain or frame
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: Wanderer Carbon gravel · Coup Carbon mountain

Gravel in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Bitex BX 211 hubs

Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Bitex parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 27mm inside, 21mm deep, about 440 grams in 700c, sized for about 40mm to 2.2 inch tires. We lace it to Bitex BX 211 hubs in 32 hole.

  • A layup for each discipline. The Whisp, Sector, Triad, Deal, Fuse, Revive and Wanderer are separate rims for XC, trail, enduro, downhill, e-bike, gravel and bikepacking. Each is tuned for its own job rather than adapted from a single design.
  • Axle ends that convert. Bitex lists quick release and 12mm thru-axle options on models like the MTR, and shows the axle and end cap changes in its videos. If your next frame uses a different standard, the wheel may be able to follow it.

Mountain in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon wheels on Bitex BX 211 hubs

Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Bitex parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm deep. We lace it to Bitex BX 211 hubs in 32 hole.

  • A wave-shaped rim wall. Convergence rims alternate faces angled 7.5 degrees on mountain models and 6 degrees on gravel and bikepacking models, so each nipple bed points straight at its hub flange. WR1 says this gives a straight spoke line and full contact around the nipple, so no one point takes the load.
  • Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Convergence We Are 1 wheels on Bitex 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 Convergence We Are 1 rims and Bitex hubs each bring

  • A named builder on every rim. Industry Nine bought We Are One in 2025, and the rims are still laid by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, under the WR1 name. Each one is laid up by a named technician and gets a serial number.
  • A wave-shaped rim wall. Convergence rims alternate faces angled 7.5 degrees on mountain models and 6 degrees on gravel and bikepacking models, so each nipple bed points straight at its hub flange. WR1 says this gives a straight spoke line and full contact around the nipple, so no one point takes the load.
  • Z-axis film in the spoke bed. A composite film from Boston Materials, with 13 billion Z-axis carbon fibers per square meter, is built into the spoke bed. WR1 credits it for a rim 32 percent stronger than the previous generation.
  • Gouge Guard on the freehub. Steel cassette cogs tend to bite notches into an aluminum freehub, and those notches make the cassette hard to remove. Bitex patented three small hardened stainless splines that take that pressure instead, and it is the Anti-Bite label on our Shimano HG driver choice.
  • Six pawls in two sets. Bitex's patented freehub splits its pawls into two groups of three that take turns meeting the ratchet teeth, so the gap between engagement points is half what it would be. The company says the larger pawls also carry more load.
  • A freehub you can change later. Each model lists its own freehub bodies, such as Shimano, Campagnolo, XDR or XD, and Bitex publishes videos showing how to swap one. Moving to a new drivetrain can mean a new freehub body and not a new hub.

Check before you order

  • Tires. Every Convergence We Are 1 rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

Convergence We Are 1 and Bitex custom wheel questions

Which Bitex hub fits my Convergence We Are 1 rim?

The cards on this page start on the Bitex hub our customers build with each rim most often (Bitex BX 211, Bitex BX 106). The builder lists every Bitex hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build Convergence We Are 1 rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our Convergence We Are 1 custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Convergence We Are 1 rim, or our Bitex custom wheel page for every rim on a Bitex hub.

Can you build with a Bitex hub or Convergence We Are 1 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.
