WTB Wheels with Velo Orange Hubs

Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc 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.
• A ratchet in place of pawls. Chronos rears use a floating ratchet, which Velo Orange says gives good engagement and handles high torque loads. A 36-tooth ratchet is stock, and Velo Orange sells a 54-tooth replacement for more engagement on technical off-road riding.

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Velo Orange Chronos Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and Velo Orange 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 Velo Orange Chronos Disc 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.
• Service with no tools. On the Chronos rears the end caps and freehub body come off by hand, so a broken drive side spoke on a long tour does not have to end the trip.
