I had been in the market for wheels and a friend put me on to Pro Wheelbuilder, and after many combinations and deliberations I settled on a great build perfectly suited to my needs.
What really set the purchase apart was not the ease of constructing the build, or the wide range of available product, but the service from the whole PWB crew, namely Debra.
I had what I’m sure was a headache inducing request for my payment options, but like a true rockstar Debra stuck with me and got everything sorted super-satisfactorily. She was communicative throughout and gave what I view as FRIEND-LIKE service (which to me is a cut above “friendly” service).
It was a real treat, and gave me great faith in the entire operation, which is crucial when doing a bespoke, high-dollar internet transaction. If you’re considering a wheel build I strongly, strongly recommend giving PWB your business!

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.
