Convergence We Are 1 Wheels with Chris King Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Convergence We Are 1 Wheels on Chris King Hubs

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

Why build Convergence We Are 1 rims on Chris King hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Convergence We Are 1 rims laid up by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, each with its own serial number, on Chris King hubs engineered, made and assembled in Portland, Oregon
  • Proven: WR1 credits the Z-axis film in its spoke bed for a rim 32 percent stronger than the last generation; Chris King rates its RingDrive above 800 foot-pounds of torque
  • Built to last: Chris King makes its own bearings, which it says get faster with age
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: Wanderer Carbon gravel · Coup Carbon mountain

Or pick one of the 9 ready-made pairs below: each opens our custom wheel builder with the Convergence We Are 1 rim and Chris King hub already chosen.

Gravel in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Chris King R45 Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Chris King 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 Chris King R45 Disc 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.
  • Service without special tools. Take out the snap ring and seal, clean and regrease, and the bearing is ready to go again. A complete rebuild uses Chris King's own hub service tools.

Mountain in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon wheels on Chris King MTB 6-bolt hubs

Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Chris King parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm deep. We lace it to Chris King MTB 6-bolt 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.
  • Every tooth engages at once. Two heat-treated stainless steel rings mesh at 72 points on mountain hubs and 45 on the R45, all at the same moment. Chris King rates the system above 800 foot-pounds of torque and says that is three times the other high-end hubs it tested.

More about Convergence We Are 1 and Chris King wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Convergence We Are 1 wheels on Chris King 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 Chris King 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.
  • RingDrive sits inside the shell. Chris King moved the engagement mechanism inboard of the large hub shell bearing. It says that gives more contact area than a traditional freehub and handles drivetrain torque better.
  • Every tooth engages at once. Two heat-treated stainless steel rings mesh at 72 points on mountain hubs and 45 on the R45, all at the same moment. Chris King rates the system above 800 foot-pounds of torque and says that is three times the other high-end hubs it tested.
  • Bearings it makes itself. Chris King designs and builds its own sealed angular-contact bearings, and each one is inspected and assembled by hand. Unlike a common radial bearing they can be adjusted in use, and Chris King says they wear in rather than wear out.

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 Chris King custom wheel questions

Which Chris King hub fits my Convergence We Are 1 rim?

The cards on this page start on the Chris King hub our customers build with each rim most often (Chris King R45 Disc, Chris King MTB 6-bolt, Chris King MTB Centerlock). The builder lists every Chris King 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 Chris King custom wheel page for every rim on a Chris King hub.

Can you build with a Chris King 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.
