Industry Nine Componentry

“There is no better place in the country to put our products to the test than in the mountains that surround us here in Asheville. In a matter of minutes we can be riding our road bikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway or testing our mountain bike products in the Pisgah National Forest.”

-Clint Spiegel, Co-Founder

It was only a matter of time before a competitive cyclist who was raised in a machine shop started creating his own bicycle components. Like so many here in Asheville, the combination of passion and talent have inspired greatness. Industry Nine, a small team of bicycling zealots, makes performance grade bicycle wheels and hubs with a focus on strength, lightweight, and aesthetics.

“A passion for bikes is the one thing we all carry in our job description, and always will. These wheels are lovingly handmade, by the eight of us,” said Clint Spiegel co-founder of Industry Nine.

Industry Nine’s wheels are 100% made in their Asheville, NC facility. Design, manufacturing, quality control, sales, assembly, truing and tensioning are all done in house where they can closely monitor the quality of craftmanship. In a time where many industries. including bicycle manufacturers, are constantly moving production overseas to increase margins, Industry Nine firmly believe in keeping production in house.

“There is no better place in the country to put our products to the test than in the mountains that surround us here in Asheville. In a matter of minutes we can be riding our road bikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway or testing our mountain bike products in the Pisgah National Forest.”
