Convergence We Are 1 Wheels with Velocity Hubs

The ProWheelBuilder workshop

Custom Convergence We Are 1 Wheels on Velocity Hubs

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

Why build Convergence We Are 1 rims on Velocity hubs:

  • Made by specialists: Convergence We Are 1 rims laid up by hand in Kamloops, British Columbia, each with its own serial number
  • Proven: WR1 credits the Z-axis film in its spoke bed for a rim 32 percent stronger than the last generation; Velocity built its Race hubs with extra sealing for cyclocross mud
  • Built to last: Velocity disc fronts convert between three axle standards
  • 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 Velocity hub already chosen.

Gravel in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Wanderer Carbon wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our gravel pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Velocity 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 Velocity Standard Atb 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.
  • Extra sealing on the Race hubs. Velocity designed the Race line with cyclocross in mind and gave it improved double-bearing seals for added protection, which suits wheels that spend their lives in mud.

Mountain in depth

Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the Convergence We Are 1 and Velocity parts we build with. The Convergence We Are 1 Coup Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm deep. We lace it to Velocity Race 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.
  • Fronts made for radial lacing. Velocity designs its front hubs so they can be laced radially where the wheel allows it. It says radial spokes add lateral rigidity and save a little weight.

Questions about these builds

Which Convergence We Are 1 rim should I build on Velocity hubs?

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built Convergence We Are 1 wheels on Velocity 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 Velocity 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.
  • One front hub, three axle standards. Velocity's convertible disc front hubs include the parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru axle and 15mm thru axle, so a new fork does not have to mean a new hub.
  • Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
  • Bearings with nothing to adjust. Most Velocity hubs use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals, and Velocity sets the preload for you. It is clear that sealed does not mean waterproof, so a hub that has been pressure washed or submerged needs a mechanic's attention.

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 Velocity custom wheel questions

Which Velocity hub fits my Convergence We Are 1 rim?

The cards on this page start on the Velocity hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velocity Standard Atb, Velocity Race 6-bolt, Velocity Race Centerlock). The builder lists every Velocity 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 Velocity custom wheel page for every rim on a Velocity hub.

Can you build with a Velocity 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.
