Wheel Build Feature: Velocity Aero Meets Hydra Hubs

Nothing turns heads—or enhances performance—like a meticulously crafted custom wheelset. This stunning build featuring Velocity Aero rims and Industry Nine Hydra hubs is a perfect marriage of cutting-edge innovation and a nostalgic nod to American cycling history.

A Fresh Take on a Classic: The Velocity Aero Rim

Originally released in 1991, the Velocity Aero rim has undergone a modern transformation. Crafted from strong, lightweight 6069 aluminum alloy, it offers enhanced resistance to denting, fatigue, and impact—ideal for riders who demand durability.

The Aero’s elliptical profile isn’t just for looks; it boosts aerodynamics and strength. With a 23mm internal width, this rim supports a range of tire sizes (28–53mm), making it incredibly versatile for road, gravel, commuter, and even tandem bikes.

Industry Nine Hydra: Precision in Every Revolution

Paired with the high-performance Industry Nine Hydra hubs, known for their ultra-fast engagement and smooth power transfer, this wheelset offers responsive handling and an uncompromising ride experience, whether you're tackling long miles or technical terrain.

A Design That Stands Out

To complete this build, we laced black spokes to gold nipples and gold spokes to black nipples, creating a stunning contrast that makes this wheelset as visually captivating as it is high-performing.
