White Industries Hubs Custom Hand Built Wheels

Why White Industries hubs are different

• Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.
• Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.
• A design with a long record. These hubs descend from the Ti Cassette rear hub of 1992, which White Industries says was the lightest on the market at the time. It says that cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged for 30 years.
• Simple to service and change. Bearing preload is adjustable, and White Industries says cleaning the freehub or changing the axle takes no special tools. It sells axle kits and freehub bodies, so the hub can follow your next bike or drivetrain.
• The ENO for single speed and fixed gear. It takes a threaded freewheel on one side and a splined fixed cog on the other. The eccentric ENO ECC axle gives 20mm of fore-aft adjustment, so a vertical dropout frame can run a single speed or fixed gear.
• Made and supported in Petaluma. White Industries machines, assembles and inspects every hub at its Petaluma, California shop. It stocks replacement parts for many current and older products where it can, and gives the original purchaser a limited five-year warranty.

The White Industries hubs we build with

These are J-bend hubs, which take standard J-bend spokes - the widest choice of gauge, color and material, and the easiest to source anywhere in the world if you ever break one far from home.

Axle spacing has to match your frame or fork, and it is the single most common thing people get wrong when ordering a wheel. We build White Industries hubs in 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 135mm, 142mm, 145mm, 148mm. If you are unsure what your frame takes, measure the inside faces of the dropouts before you order, or email us and we will work it out with you.

What to pair with a White Industries hub

A wheel is a system: the rim decides the tire and the braking, the hub decides the drivetrain and the axle fit, and the spokes have to suit both. Start from whichever end matters most to you and the configurator will keep the other end compatible.
