Product Details
As with all our hubs, the CLD+ (Center Lock Disc Boost) draws on over 30 years worth of hub manufacturing experience and real world testing, going back to the “Ti Front hub” we introduced in 1992. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and every White Industries hub we make has that original DNA in it; simple, durable, dependable.
The CLD+ is perfect for Boost spaced gravel and mountain bikes because of their low weight and clean, minimalist look, as well as their robust and durable design. Designed around the Center Lock splined disc rotor mounting standard, the CLD+ rotates on two Enduro brand bearings, and are made here in our Petaluma, Ca. shop. They are available in five spoke drillings, seven colors, and two axle configurations. That’s 70 different variations!

Compatibility
- Axle options (interchangeable between the two, but only one comes with the hub):
- 12mm x 110mm Thru
- 15mm x 110mm Thru
- Requires Center Lock style rotors (not included)
- 15mm Thru: externally splined lockring such as White Industries or Shimano SM-HB20 or HB-M8010
- 12mm Thru: internally splined lockring such as White Industries or Shimano SM-RT81, or externally splined lockring such as White Industries or Shimano SM-HB20 or HB-M8010
- Rotors and lockrings that do not strictly adhere to Shimano’s specifications may not work with our hubs
- Not compatible with radial spoke lacing
- Neither is “better”. Both share the same internals and the differences really come down to the two different rotor mounting standards: Center Lock for CLD+, and 6-bolt for XMR+. The bottom line is you can’t go wrong with either hub!
- This depends on the type of climate you’re riding in, and how often. To check the bearings, remove the wheel once a month and spin the axle with your fingers to check for roughness which would indicate a bearing/bearings need to be replaced. In wet climates you can smear extra grease on the faces of the outer bearings to help protect them. For this, we like to use Sta-Lube Water-Resistant Marine Grease.
- Yes, but that would be a different model called the “CLD” (not Boost)
-
- You can swap but you need to purchase a new axle kit. Axle kits are on the Axle Kits page. Instructions are in the Front Hub Assembly document, but it’s not a complicated procedure and does not require special tools.
