WTB Wheels with Hope Hubs

Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and Hope 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 Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs 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.
• Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.

Mountain in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs

The mountain pair our customers build most on this page, with 5 in our build records. 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 Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs 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.
• Spacers that change with your bike. End spacers swap to suit a different frame or axle, so the hub can move to your next bike. Hope publishes a conversion kit chart, and the Pro 5 front covers QR, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, Torq and Boost.

Fat bike in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 wheels on Hope Pro 4 Fat Sno hubs

Our fat bike pick from the WTB and Hope 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 Hope Pro 4 Fat Sno hubs 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.
• A stiffer axle and shell. Hope says the step-down axle makes the Pro 5 freehub stiffer and more durable. The front hub shell is machined from a single forged billet, with a larger flange for a stiffer wheel.
