WTB Wheels with Industry Nine Hubs

Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and Industry Nine parts we build with. The WTB KOM Light TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 17.75mm deep, about 453 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Industry Nine 1/1 Road hubs in 28 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.
• The 1/1 keeps it simple. A dual-phase pawl drive gives 90 points of engagement, or 4 degrees, on high-capacity bearings. Conventional flanges and standard J-bend steel spokes mean it can be serviced anywhere, with no proprietary tools.

Mountain in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and Industry Nine 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 Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB 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.
• Hydra2 reinforced from real use. Industry Nine says feedback from over 100,000 ridden Hydra hubs showed it where to push further. The result is an axle 65 percent thicker, larger bearings and a full-contact seal system.

Fat bike in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 wheels on Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock hubs

Our fat bike pick from the WTB and Industry Nine 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 Industry Nine Hydra 2 MTB Centerlock 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.
• Stronger parts around the pawls. Each pawl gains a tooth, for three in all, and the drive ring moves to a more fatigue-resistant steel. Deeper 5.5mm pawl pockets spread force 26 percent better, which Industry Nine says stops them deforming and lets the hub handle powerful e-bike motors.
