The secret to going fast is to give yourself every competitive advantage -- train hard, eat right, sleep right and ride the best and lightest components. Buying the right wheelset is quite possibly the fastest and easiest way to get faster -- and the Industry Nine 650b Ultralight Wheelset answers every call for your 650b race bike. To create the Industry Nine 650b UL Wheelset, Industry Nine takes their already lightweight, super durable All-Mountain wheelset and intelligently trims any fat possible.
About the only visible difference between the Industry Nine Ultralight Wheelset and the Industry Nine All-Mountain Wheelset is the Stan's No Tubes 355 rim featured in the UL version. The Industry Nine Ultralight Wheelset uses Industry Nine Ultralight spokes, machined from 7075-T6 aluminum to .090" instead of the standard .100" diameter. These are laced to their proprietary hubs featuring 3 degrees of engagement -- ideal for quick starts and technical climbs. Instead of the standard 17-4 Stainless Steel endcaps, the UL wheelset receives alloy endcaps, sacrificing a bit of durability for another 40 or so precious grams -- every little bit counts.
The stock Industry Nine 650b Ultralight Wheelset is available with matching spokes and hubs in anodized silver, red or black laced to a Stan's No Tubes 355 rim. Simply make your selection below. If these options aren't what you had in mind, give us a ring or drop us a line as Industry Nine can customize a wheelset in most any color combination on any rim -- it will require a wait of 6-8 weeks though. And, those of you that are looking to save another 30 grams can do so by special ordering the Industry Nine Ultralite Wheelset with a 3 pawl engagement mechanism, which provides 6 degrees of engagement -- no upcharge here, but there is a wait. Skewers are not included. 1600g
