We Are One Convergence Rims
Unmatched Traction and Durability
The Convergence series is We Are One's latest and improved generation of rims, building on the original Revolution series. Using advanced materials and redesigned construction, these rims offer better strength, durability, and control, providing the best balance of performance and ride quality.
Convergence Lineup
The Convergence lineup comes in three lip-to-lip internal widths:
- Sector 28: Ideal tire width 2.2"-2.4"
- Triad 30: Ideal tire width 2.4"-2.6"
- Fuse 33: Ideal tire width 2.5"-2.6"
Innovative Design
We Are One Convergence front rims are designed with a 28-hole drilling pattern while the rear rim has a 32-hole pattern. This drilling pattern utilizes Convergence's rim shape for greater balance and strength.

Taking our time and diving deep into testing, we came up with the perfect balance of weight, strength and ride feel. Drawing on all of our data from Union 29 and Union 27.5 rims, we built a new test protocol and focused on single-wall impact failures. We introduced a new ZRT material from Boston Materials and placed it in critical areas. We completely redesigned the layup of each rim from the ground up, changing all possible orientations, angles, and processes.
The result is a 29 and 27.5 rim with 32% improved in impact strength over the rims we tested.
Traditionally, the interface of where the nipple sits in the rim has never been ideal. The Convergence's external shape drives the internal profile. With 7.5° alternating faces, when drilled, it gives the nipple the perfect perpendicular angle with no point loading. This feature improves fatigue on the nipples and spokes, providing unrivaled durability and prolonged service intervals.
The Convergence rim is an evolution of shape that radically changes how the spoke and rim interact.
Using the Revolution line of rims as a benchmark, we aimed to improve an already fantastic ride experience. By reducing the depth of the rims to 18.5mm and working on both laminate orientations and materials, we isolated the cause of both the radial and lateral levers of the rim design. The Convergence gives the rider a data-backed increase in lateral stiffness and a wheelset that dampens the rough chatter of the trail. The Convergence line of rims offers the best ride experience to date.
The best of everything, in one rim.
Commitment issues? 6-Lock is the new and enhanced version of six bolt with the versatility to run Center Lock. No strings attached.
True Six Bolt Retention
The rotor is fastened to the 6-Lock brake mount using six T25 Torx rotor bolts; no lock ring required.
Stainless Steel Collet
The 6-Lock collet utilizes stainless steel threads completely eliminates thread stripping and significantly improves bolt retention.
A Better Approach to Fasteners
6-Lock allows the rotor to sit on the collet posts which eliminates all sheer force on the T25 Torx M4 bolts.
7075 Aluminium Flange
The flange supports the stainless steel collet and provides a strong brake mount interface for the rotor.
Trail Serviceable
6-Lock has the same trail serviceability as six bolt; all you need is a standard T25 torx tool.
Easy Centerlock Conversion
6-Lock removes in a matter of seconds to give you to a standard Center Lock brake mount.
Colour Matched To Every Hub
Every G3 hub comes with a A colour matched 6-Lock assembly.
