We Are One's Convergence Rims, Now Available Through Industry Nine

"Back in June, we learned that Industry Nine had acquired the Canadian rim manufacturer We Are One Composites. While they have already collaborated in the past, this strategic acquisition has created a new, formal partnership that merges two brands committed to North American manufacturing. Since then, both companies have continued to produce the quality products they are known for while operating from their respective homes in Kamloops, BC, and Asheville, NC."

"If you're not already familiar, We Are One's Convergence rims have been around for a few years and feature a unique design with a "sinuous" profile. The wavy shape of the rim is designed to enhance the alignment of both the inner and outer rim walls with the spokes and nipples, with the goal of reducing stress and increasing strength at this critical junction."

Industry Nine acquired We Are One Composites and formalized a North American manufacturing partnership while both brands continue operations in Kamloops, BC, and Asheville, NC. Industry Nine is now selling the full lineup of We Are One's Convergence rims as complete wheelsets with Hydra2, Solix, or 1/1 hubs, or as rim-only options. The Convergence rims use a sinuous, wavy profile to align inner and outer rim walls with spokes and nipples, aiming to reduce stress and increase strength at that junction. Claimed benefits include stronger, more durable rims that reduce trail chatter and rider fatigue, improving control and speed.
