My OEM ebike wheel had a hop in it. When I went to my local bike store for a new wheel I gave him a wish list and a price range. I guess I wanted too much for too little and never heard back from him.
I entered my wish list to Pro wheel builder.com and found out I could indeed get what I wanted in budget.
3 weeks later I got a package with a gorgeous custom wheel for me, make with ebike Sapim strong spokes and a rugged DTswiss rim.
Later that afternoon after easily fitting it (my first tubeless tire) I went out to test it. Within a half hour I had achieved two new PRs on the two Strava segments I rode. One by 7 seconds and one by 10. I did a 12 mile trip at an average of 21.3 mph. I would say the wheel works! I don't know if it is the rim geometry, the fact that it is now running tubeless, or the Shimano hub being faster, but I guess I really don't care. The combo works. I would recommend ProWheelbuilder.com to my e-bike buddies, and you guys should probably make an e-bike category for this growing segment.
thanks again.

After my bike was stolen, I began to look around for inspiration and ideas on what my next ride would be. I am a bit of a deal hunter and I really have to give it to Richard when it comes to providing amazing service and value to his customers. I spent a lot of time looking into parts for building my new set of wheels and nothing came close to matching or beating the price and convenience offered by prowheelbuilders.com. Quality really does speak for itself and the H Plus Son Archetypes matched with Surly Ultra New hubs that Richard put together for me are an absolute dream. Thank you guys so much!!!
