18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

EXP 36 - With only a singlel spring, making the hubs faster and lighter, more complete engagement of the 36 ratchet teeth for more precise contact, and therefore a longer lifespan.

Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.

When ordering a set of wheels with I9 hubs there does not seem to be an option for their "system" straight pull hubs and spokes, can that option be had?

LightBicycle 2019/04/24

Hi Chad, Sorry to tell you that, the straight pull Industry Nine hubs are not available. Will DT SWISS 350/240S hubs ok for you? They have straight pull features available. Or you can choose Industry Nine J-bend version for 29er wheelset. For I9 straightpull hubs, it needs special spokes. So, I9 do not offer straight pull version for sell. It is only used I9's own wheelset. Thanks, Lightbicycle
