What you are looking at is the sweetest set of wheels on the market - Industry Nine 29ers. The wizards from Asheville have taken their 6 pawl drive hub and lefty front hub, laced them up to a set of Stan's Arch rims (yes I am one of those heavy guys that shouldn't be on 355s) and made a set of wheels that would make even BC jealous.I have only had the opportunity to fondle these babies while IF is putting the finishing touches to the Lefty Ti Deluxe that will be mated to these wheels. The drive train is silky smooth and the 6 pawl engagement mechanism has a sound that is music to the ears. All of this is topped off with one piece aluminum spokes that lower the rotational mass and add stiffness without a weight penalty.
Sadly they will not be making the trip to Cohutta but if all goes according to plan they will make their debut at the Mohican 100.
