Convergence We Are 1 + Industry Nine Wheels



Custom Convergence We Are 1 Wheels on Industry Nine Hubs
Pick a Convergence We Are 1 rim we carry, put it on an Industry Nine hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Convergence We Are 1 rims on Industry Nine hubs:
- Made by specialists: Convergence We Are 1 rims laid up by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, each with its own serial number, on Industry Nine hubs machined and anodized in Asheville, North Carolina
- Proven: WR1 credits the Z-axis film in its spoke bed for a rim 32 percent stronger than the last generation; Industry Nine built the Hydra2 from feedback on over 100,000 ridden hubs
- Built to last: Industry Nine's classic hubs take standard J-bend spokes and service without proprietary tools
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Whisp Carbon gravel · Wanderer Carbon mountain

Gravel in depth
Convergence We Are 1 Whisp Carbon wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs
Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Whisp Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 29mm inside, 21mm deep, about 380 grams in 700c, sized for about 40mm to 2.2 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 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.
- 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.

Mountain in depth
Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Industry Nine parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 27mm inside, 21mm deep, about 440 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB 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.
- 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Convergence We Are 1 wheels on Industry Nine 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 Industry Nine 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.
- 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.
- Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
- 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.
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 Industry Nine custom wheel questions
Which Industry Nine hub fits my Convergence We Are 1 rim?
The cards on this page start on the Industry Nine hub our customers build with each rim most often (Industry Nine 1/1 Road, Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock, Industry Nine Solix CL). The builder lists every Industry Nine 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 Industry Nine custom wheel page for every rim on an Industry Nine hub.
Can you build with an Industry Nine 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.
