Convergence We Are 1 Wheels with Hope Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Convergence We Are 1 Wheels on Hope Hubs

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

Why build Convergence We Are 1 rims on Hope hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Convergence We Are 1 rims laid up by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, each with its own serial number, on Hope hubs made under one roof in Barnoldswick, England
  • Proven: WR1 credits the Z-axis film in its spoke bed for a rim 32 percent stronger than the last generation; Hope's Pro 5 engages at 108 points
  • Built to last: Hope holds spares for almost everything it has made
  • 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 Hope hub already chosen.

Gravel in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Hope 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 Hope Pro 5 Centerlock 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.
  • Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.

Mountain in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Hope parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm deep. We lace it to Hope Pro 5 Centerlock 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.
  • Spacers that change with your bike. End spacers swap to suit a different frame or axle, so the hub can move to your next bike. Hope publishes a conversion kit chart, and the Pro 5 front covers QR, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, Torq and Boost.

More about Convergence We Are 1 and Hope wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Convergence We Are 1 wheels on Hope 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 Hope 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.
  • Made under one factory roof. Hope designs, tests and makes virtually all of its products in Barnoldswick, England, from CNC machining through anodizing to hand assembly. Hope says that gives it full control of quality and delivery.
  • Offset pawls on the Pro 5. Setting the freehub's six pawls out of step raises engagement from 44 points to 108, and the single speed hub reaches 108 with four. Hope cuts the pawls from high strength steel and says the new pawl and spring design adds load capacity and service life.
  • Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.

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 Hope custom wheel questions

Which Hope hub fits my Convergence We Are 1 rim?

The cards on this page start on the Hope hub our customers build with each rim most often (Hope Pro 5 Centerlock). The builder lists every Hope 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 Hope custom wheel page for every rim on a Hope hub.

Can you build with a Hope 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.
