Those Hydra's sound nice out on the trails. Can always hear who's rockin the I9's. Killer Bees get everyone's attention. Keep up the great vids Tony!! Need more for 2021.🤘🤘
I have 10 years on the torch hubs to dt swiss ex471. Trail days with climbs and chunky downs to chairlift park days. If they fit my new bike they would be on the new bike the minute I got it.
Oh wow after watching this I can't wait for my custom built Alpha bike wheels with the same fox orange Hydra hubs. Which will reach by the next month.And it's going to be the first pair in india. Thanks for the video 🙏🙏
I just got my I9 EN315's on November 8th. I can't say enough great things about them. Probably the last brand of wheels I will ever ride because 1. they are indestructable, 2. Maintenance is so easy, 3. Nothing looks better than I9.
Still like your wheels? I have en305 hydra and the rear will not stay together. Tensions are all over the place always having to tighten spokes and getting tires on and off these things is a pain in the ass. I'm selling mine asap
Loud hubs save lives!!! I LOVE the sound of my I9 hubs. I had the torch and just ordered a set with a the Hydra. Can’t wait. I can’t stand silent hubs. I’ll never get used to the sound of the i9 hubs. It’s music to a trail rider.
Hey man, I’m the dude that talked to you at Greer about these wheels, went home and bought a pair that night. You should have mentioned your UA-cam presence!
You know, I9 doesn't just make Hydra hubs. They also make 1/1 which i have a pair and i love them! They are better than the ones i had. (stout). I think most wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 90 points and the engagement of the hydra using 29er wheels.
@@MTBdropIN Yep, so good. It’s really hard to explain. It’s just one of those things you have to try; I mean really put the setup through it’s paces. How are you liking it so far?
I got my hydra wheels for my trail bike... thought I was done... then I found myself fiddling around on the laptop configuring a 26 inch set with hydra hubs on the i9 website! Looks like the dj might be getting an upgrade soon 😎
I have had Hydras...Torch and reluctantly went to Onyx Vesper. Once you have sprawled engagement and that silence theres no looking back for me. I now get irritated riding my I9 but they still make a killer Hub.
@@MTBdropIN will do. It’s gonna be a hot minute till it’s done. Taking my time and not rushing this build. It’s going to be my zero compromise built just the way i want it. Listened to too many guys at the shop and switched a bunch of stuff that I wasn’t happy with in the end
this is super awesome!!! I really like what I see and hear on this HUB wheel set I like to get rid of that "#CLUNK" of my present bike bit I hope I can find it for #QR i've got an older bike but I hope I can get this later! Sweet info about the #grease makes total sense thanks for the informative video. Gracias dude!
Good to see u making videos a little more regularly brother. Hope all is well with ya and don't sweat the small stuff, thus saith the Lord "Do not worry about tomorrow, sufficient for the today are the days troubles." Keep doing good, going forward and God bless you my friend. 👍♥️
I just bought a bike with I9 hubs. I definitely notice the difference in engagement, however to the average Joe rider ( myself included...LOL), I don't think it makes a huge difference. Prior to this I had bikes with Ibis hubs and DT Swiss 350 and they perform well too. I see your point how the noise can be an advantage with Mountain lions, etc. However, I'd like to make them permanently more quiet. I don't think there is a way to accomplish this...LOL.
Yes there is in fact! Put thick dumondtec grease it quiets it a ton. To your point, if you ride anything that is carbon the average joe shouldn’t be able to tell either 😁
It looks like 40mm inner width, I could be wrong though but I have the 35mm i.w. and that looks even wider. The older one looks like 21 or 25mm I.w. like my old Dt swiss with 21mm inner width.
Okay found the link my bad so I’m new to hubs and stuff do you know exactly which hub you got? Bc there are all different kinds lol I just want my bike to be loud and good engagement
I’m 5”6 and I ride medium but if small bikes re sold as easy and mediums I would ride a small. But I grew up on big dirt bikes so I’m used to a bigger bike
So that was a new wheel with the i9 Hydra and I presume it was full of grease and it sounded that loud? Jesus Christ on a motorbike, i'm getting the i9 Hydra and selling my Hope pro 4
More points of engagement increases durability? how so? btw, not ANYTHING against I9, I actually run I9 hubs in all my wheelsets, just very curious as to how that statement is true.
I can’t say it’s just something I know i9 states I would ask them for the scientific answer. I’ll give you my theory... the more engagement the less stress there is on any one paw,
Love the system wheels but if you travel to other countries stick to J-bend. Every shop will have a J-bend. I have the system wheels but Im most likely gonna go back to J-bend when covid is over.
@@MTBdropIN yeah i got spares too and always have them. Its just i have broken 6 spokes at once landing wrong. Luckily that happened in Canada. If that happened in Asia I’d be calling every bike shop in that area that would know what they are, let alone have them. 😂
Its an american company, they literally make like 98% of everything their wheels and hubs consist of in the USA, and yes it comes at a cost, but i have so much respect for them for doing so. But I get you, if we dont have the money we just dont, im just fortunate to have a youtube channel and can pay off the rest by making a video and taking pictures. We got to use what we got ya know.
Steve full of poor info. More POE typically is less reliable. More POE doesn't change power output. J bend spokes are dope, easier to work with and easier to find. Aluminum spokes have always been garbage, enjoy paying 4 times as much for a replacement. Ymmv
I turned the video off when this clown didn’t remember what bike he even rides. Makes me wonder if he even rides. Hmmmm. Maybe I’ll watch the rest of the video to see if he does or not. Either way, I ride I9 hydra classic rear and DTSwiss 350 front on DT Swiss wheels on my trek fuel ex5. I love the buzz. Ok. So I watched the rest of this. This dude is not a rider.
I just bought an Industry Nine Hydra wheelset. They are dope.

I have a Hydra wheel set ordered. Can’t wait to try them out! I also have been running 25mm DT Swiss wheels with 359 hubs.

Thanks for this video man! Really helps! Now I’m pretty sure I’m going to order Onyx hubs!
🤪🤘😉
I was going to buy an Onyx hub until I picked one up and felt how HEAVY it was compared to the I9 Hydra. Yikes.

I just got I9 305 with hydra hubs, love em. Had a bad experience with a local shop and I9 hooked me up and made it right.
Dude that’s so awesome I’m glad to hear that makes me feel great about promoting them
Yeah, great company, cool to see you working with them.

Lol so sick please let i9 know brother!
Super stoked to get mine in in my pre-order bike!!
🤤🤘
I didn't realize you were in San Antonio!! I just rode Parwood Tables yesterday for the first time - keep shredding!
He’ll yeah brother!!!
There are 3 different spoke variants for hydra: system, j-bend, straight-pull(only available with trail s and enduro s wheelsets).
🤘😎 thanks brotha!
I love the look of those tan sidewall tires. Wish that would’ve caught on more!
I think it’s caught on enough, I like how not everyone has them. However, they are harder to find!/
@@MTBdropIN Yeah, I guess mostly in XC. Hard to find them in the wider sizes!
Just ordered some I9's today!
If it’s cause of the vid let i9 know for me 😉🤘
I have had Hydras...Torch and reluctantly went to Onyx Vesper. Once you have sprawled engagement and that silence theres no looking back for me. I now get irritated riding my I9 but they still make a killer Hub.
Ha ha right on 🤘😎🤪
Awesome vid. I love the I9 stuff I had the stem on my last bike. Will get the stem and wheels for my SB130 build I’m working on.
Hell yeah send me some pics to my instagram would love to see when you are done!

literally my personal favorite part of the video. . thank you for pointing that out it means alot !!
@@MTBdropIN no problem! I’m a bit OCD, so things like that are awesome
Aaa i keep on rewatching it its so good
The music’s really good and the sound of that hubbbbbbbb
Back just for that moment

9:15 980 kilograms, oh boy :D

It’s called a straight pull spoke instead of j bend, other companies did this before.
Mavic for example.
Dude thank you 🤘
What wheels / wheel width was on your bike? They seemed narrow for SB130. Nice video. I’ve got some I9s on order.
It looks like 40mm inner width, I could be wrong though but I have the 35mm i.w. and that looks even wider. The older one looks like 21 or 25mm I.w. like my old Dt swiss with 21mm inner width.
they were not the typical wheels for sb130 it was a cutom build
i wish i knew exactly
Bro you just sold me lol thinking about getting the 511 dt with i9 but i just went all i9 lolol
He’ll yeah bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hi how much per pc of that spokes or nipple

I can’t say it’s just something I know i9 states I would ask them for the scientific answer. I’ll give you my theory... the more engagement the less stress there is on any one paw,
strain/force distributed more evenly across the body
Cool, but I prefer to hear nature and the sound my tires make rolling the dirt.
I feel you bro
One more question, If i buy the rear hub, does it come standard with XD cassette?
No
Is there a link to the product you bought?
🤘
Heeeey it's Parkwood!
Ha ha 🤘
Where is that shop at ? Support your local business 💪🏽
Rideaway bicycles San Antonio off of thousand oaks
How do I get that loud sound on my Danome bike?
Just simply buy the hydra hub 🤘😎
Why did you hang the bike by the dropper ??
That’s literally what every bike shop from here to California does when I take my bike to them 🤣

Love the system wheels but if you travel to other countries stick to J-bend. Every shop will have a J-bend.
I have the system wheels but Im most likely gonna go back to J-bend when covid is over.
The shop sent about 3 xtra hooks with the set, i hope thats standard for everyone cause i see it coming in handy, ill probably always keeps spairs
@@MTBdropIN yeah i got spares too and always have them. Its just i have broken 6 spokes at once landing wrong. Luckily that happened in Canada. If that happened in Asia I’d be calling every bike shop in that area that would know what they are, let alone have them. 😂
@@jrig92 i yeah understand, good to know ill take six if i go to ASIA 😝 lol, no for real though its great advice.
There are so many reasons to get i9 hubs. But I know of one reason why you shouldn't get them. And it trumps all other factors. The price
Its an american company, they literally make like 98% of everything their wheels and hubs consist of in the USA, and yes it comes at a cost, but i have so much respect for them for doing so. But I get you, if we dont have the money we just dont, im just fortunate to have a youtube channel and can pay off the rest by making a video and taking pictures. We got to use what we got ya know.
Imma need more than 3 reasons 😅
It’s all you need bro 😉
Steve full of poor info. More POE typically is less reliable. More POE doesn't change power output. J bend spokes are dope, easier to work with and easier to find. Aluminum spokes have always been garbage, enjoy paying 4 times as much for a replacement. Ymmv
If the wheels aren’t carbon it’s not worth the money. We are one union wheels carbon with i9 hubs 1600
Ehhh, I don’t know about that sounds like a good video idea 🤔
980 kilo grams 😂😂😂😂😂 didn’t know your wheel are the weight of 3 Yokozuna sumo wrestlers.
😃
Why is #cheapmountainbikeupgrades ????? Bruh these wheels are $1600
Cheap is all perspective
Dude said 980 Kilograms xD
🤙
I9 is awesome. But please learn the more tech stuff before trying to talk about it.
I only have enough time brother that’s why I work with dudes who are the specialists
Right away your reasons for buying them are completely biased- I love I9 but I want an honest review
Ok go find one 😉 cause this is all clearly BS 🤣
I turned the video off when this clown didn’t remember what bike he even rides. Makes me wonder if he even rides. Hmmmm. Maybe I’ll watch the rest of the video to see if he does or not. Either way, I ride I9 hydra classic rear and DTSwiss 350 front on DT Swiss wheels on my trek fuel ex5. I love the buzz. Ok. So I watched the rest of this. This dude is not a rider.
Thanks buddy !!! Maybe one day I can be as good as you that’s my aspiration 😀👍
980 kilograms? haha
🤘🤘
You should probably film some technical climbing to justify this entire video.
If all you do is shuttle and bomb descents...Why bother
lol 😊
