I have never owned a set of custom wheels. Honestly, didn't think I could tell the difference or that they could be that much better. Well, 7 months later after ordering and riding my custom NOX carbon wheelset, I get it. 1356 miles on my Scott Spark wheels are true with no spoke tension loss! A lightweight wheel can be strong and compliant built with the skill, care and guidance that the folks at Pro WheelBuilder provide. Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about PWB. My road bike gets daily abuse on a long, hilly commute over bad roads and gravel trails. I was looking for something that was light enough to climb well, tough enough for gravel, and precise enough to handle long descents through mountain switchbacks. The ride has chewed up two stock Bontrager wheelsets and even a set of Mavics. Local wheelbuilders weren't able to quote me anything they thought would work for less than a grand.
I considered a wide range of rims, hubs, and wheelbuilders before Debra at PWB suggested I take a look at the Ventus Premium wheelset. Watching a YouTube video of them bombing down trails gave me confidence that they might fit the bill. I'm glad I took her advice. They are light, responsive, and hold true even after a few months on gravel, and the custom red hubs look really sharp to boot.
