These Industry Nine wheels are 100% made in Industry Nine's Asheville, NC facility. Their spoke design allows them to eliminate the J-bend and the spoke/nipple interface. Instead their spokes thread directly into the hub shell with a larger diameter thread than the main spoke body, eliminating weakness at the thread. This allowed them to increase the surface contact area by more than 200% over a standard 14g spoke and nipple combination.

• Industry Nine uses a specially ground 61903 Bearing in their cassette body. The OD is 29.5mm instead of the standard sized 30mm OD of all other standard 61903 and 6903 bearings
