Industry Nine Wheels (Machined in Asheville)

By -


If you ever find yourself south of here in Asheville North Carolina make sure that you stop by Industry Nine and take a brief tour of the factory. I-9 is a small company with only 8 employees, one of who use to work here at SBC. Their wheels are 100% made in their Asheville, NC facility. They outsource rims and bearings…that’s it. Now you can even get an I-9 rim on your wheelset (as pictured) or most other rims of your choice. They make beautiful wheels with aluminum spokes and without nipples. The aluminum spokes are super large, drop into the rim, and thread directly into the hub. So that there is much less wiggle than on a normal wheel. Flats are machined into the spokes so that you can true the wheel like any other wheel. They have some of the best engagement of any wheel, 3-degree engagement ensures that you can ride all your favorite rock lines. Anyhow we are a dealer so if you get the itch come on down. Wheels are available with multiple colors of hubs and spokes.

Shenandoah Bicycle Company Bikes Looking for a Good Home From time to time we have bikes that hang around the shop a little longer than we would like.

Sustainable products produced in the United States have become harder and harder to find these days but here at SBC we still try our best to stock products by companies who care about their impact on the world. Products made in the USA do create and preserve US jobs but that is only a fraction of the argument. Garments produced here ensure that the workers are paid a livable wage and work under decent conditions. This is in stark contrast to many of the other garments that we wear when they are produced in nameless factories overseas. Our primary bike line, Trek , the largest bike company in the country is the only major bicycle company to still make ANY frames in the United States. All high end Trek OCLV carbon road and mountain bikes are STILL made in Trek's Waterloo Wisconsin factory. All Madone frames starting at the 5.1 and above are made in the good ol US of A. If you are interested in biking at night either on the road or the trails you should look into Light and Motio
