Gravel in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 25 wheels on White Industries XMR hubs

Our gravel pick from the WTB and White Industries 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 White Industries XMR 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.
  • 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.

Mountain in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 40 wheels on White Industries XMR hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and White Industries parts we build with. The WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 40 is a hooked aluminum rim, 40mm inside, 17.6mm deep, about 627 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.8 to 3.0 inch plus tires. We lace it to White Industries XMR 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.
  • 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.

Fat bike in depth

WTB KOM Light TCS I 76 wheels on White Industries XMR hubs

Our fat bike pick from the WTB and White Industries 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 White Industries XMR 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.
  • 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.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built WTB wheels on White Industries hubs

Our order records show more than 20 WTB wheels laced to White Industries hubs since 2009. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.

What WTB rims and White Industries hubs each bring

  • Rims and tires designed together. WTB develops the two at the same time to optimize how they fit, aiming for easier mounting and removal and a more reliable tubeless seal. It also names rims by inner width, so an i30 is 30mm inside and tire fit is easy to work out.
  • 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.
  • 4D angled drilling. Each spoke hole is drilled at the angle that lines the nipple up with its hole in the hub. WTB says that eliminates binding and side loading and spreads the load, which extends the life of the wheel.
  • 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.

WTB and White Industries custom wheel questions

Which White Industries hub fits my WTB rim?

The cards on this page start on the White Industries hub our customers build with each rim most often (White Industries XMR). The builder lists every White Industries hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build WTB rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our WTB custom wheel page for every hub that fits each WTB rim, or our White Industries custom wheel page for every rim on a White Industries hub.

Can you build with a White Industries hub or WTB rim I already own?

Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.

How long will my wheel take?

Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.

Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
