WTB Wheels with Boyd Hubs

Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and Boyd parts we build with. The WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 17.6mm deep, about 485 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (rear wheel) in 32 hole.

• Solid Strip in TCS 2.0. A strip sits in a recessed channel under the tubeless tape, which stops the tape sagging at the spoke holes. The tire then seals against a smooth, consistent surface.
• Centerlock rotors on the Quest. One central lockring holds the rotor instead of six small bolts. Boyd chose it because the rotor goes on faster and there are no bolts to torque one by one.

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and Boyd parts we build with. The WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 is a hooked aluminum rim, 35mm inside, 17.6mm deep, about 577 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.4 to 2.8 inch tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (rear wheel) in 32 hole.

• I-Beam support. An I-shaped wall inside the rim cavity adds radial and lateral rigidity, and KOM Tough rims use two of them. HTZ rims pair the I-Beam with walls WTB says are 25 to 30 percent thicker than its standard rims, for the extra weight of e-bikes.
• Five degrees of engagement. The 85 Road and the Quest both turn on 36 teeth and engage every 5 degrees. That cuts the dead spot before the drive catches when you start pedaling again, such as coming out of a corner.

Fat bike in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our fat bike pick from the WTB and Boyd parts we build with. The WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 is a hooked aluminum rim, 76mm inside, 14.9mm deep, about 831 grams in 27.5 inch, sized for about 3.8 to 5 inch fat bike tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (rear wheel) in 32 hole.

• CVX spoke bed. On the rims with CVX in the name, WTB's patented shape thickens the spoke bed where it is needed and removes material where it is not. It also gives the nipple head more contact with the rim to reduce stress at the spoke hole.
• Three pawls at a time on the Quest. The Quest has six pawls working in two sets of three on its 36-tooth ring, so three pawls carry the load at each engagement.
