Industry Nine Torch Ultralite Features
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.- These Industry Nine wheels are 100% made in Industry Nine's Asheville, NC facility.
