I'm Michael, a Cat 1 out of Vegas. I had bought a set of stock Zipp 404 wheels that I thought would do just fine for crit racing and training. A buddy of mine had the same rims, but one of the pawls in his rear hub broke and the gear would not engage, cauzing it to slip during an important race, which took him out of the running due to his hub mechanical. Nothing against Zipp hubs, but When Rich, the owner of Pro Wheelbuilder.com, showed me the inside of a Zipp hub compared to a White Industry hub, I was shocked!. I immediately had Rich build me a wheel from scratch using the Zipp rim, White industry hub, flat black spokes, and replaced the old rim tape with nipple plugs. I did all of this for the around the same price as buying the stock wheels, and let me tell you the wheel is ten times better than it was coming out of the box from Zipp. It's like a Zipp wheels on steroids!. I use em to climb, crit, train....anything and everything. I love em!. Trust me, Rich will guide you through the whole process in building a wheel that is perfect for all of your needs. He did it for me. Thanks Rich! Michael .....AkA...."Chicky"

These are great people to work with. All I knew was which hubs I wanted, hope pro 4s. I worked with debra to get a recommendation for hoops and spokes and after working out some color choices i sent my order in. A couple days later preston called me to confirm my color choices and after our talk he suggested what I thought i wanted wouldn't give me the end result I wanted color wise. In the end I went Preston's recommendation on colors and I could not be happier. These things look exactly like what I had pictured in my mind, they're lighter and stronger then what I had on my bike as well. PWB will service all my Wheel needs from now on. Their attention detail and customer service is second to none. Believe me when I say you owe it to yourself to check them out. The attached pic is before a planned face-lift that wil highlight the wheels even more
