Convergence We Are 1 Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs

Gravel in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos 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.
• A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Velo Orange parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm deep. We lace it to Velo Orange Chronos Disc 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.
• Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.
