Custom WTB Wheels on Wolf Tooth Hubs

Pick a WTB rim we carry, put it on a Wolf Tooth hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build WTB rims on Wolf Tooth hubs:

  • Proven: WTB designs its rims and tires together for an easy, reliable tubeless seal; Wolf Tooth drives through ENVE's 42mm INNERDRIVE steel ratchet
  • Built to last: Wolf Tooth sells every hub part separately and sets bearing preload automatically
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 mountain

Mountain in depth

WTB KOM Tough TCS 2.0 CVX I 35 wheels on Wolf Tooth Mountain hubs

Our mountain pick from the WTB and Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth Mountain 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.
  • Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built WTB wheels on Wolf Tooth hubs

Every pair on this page is in our builder today, with a rim and hub that fit each other. 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 Wolf Tooth 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.
  • A 42mm steel ratchet. Wolf Tooth tried several drive systems and settled on ENVE's INNERDRIVE. It says the large ring diameter lowers the stress on each tooth, so the hub can run more teeth without giving up durability.
  • Engagement you can change. Wolf Tooth sells drive rings with 60, 80 and 100 teeth, which work out to 6, 4.5 and 3.6 degrees of travel before the hub picks up. Fewer teeth favor lower drag, more teeth favor quicker pickup, and the rings swap without special tools.
  • A low-drag 40T ring for road and gravel. Only the road and gravel hubs take the 40T PRO ring, at 9 degrees. Wolf Tooth reduces its diameter, mills out more material and fits a lighter spring to cut ratchet drag and weight.

WTB and Wolf Tooth custom wheel questions

Which Wolf Tooth hub fits my WTB rim?

The cards on this page start on the Wolf Tooth hub our customers build with each rim most often (Wolf Tooth Mountain). The builder lists every Wolf Tooth 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 Wolf Tooth custom wheel page for every rim on a Wolf Tooth hub.

Can you build with a Wolf Tooth 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.
