I've done factory wheels and built my own wheels in the past, which has lead to a preference for a good quality, hand built set of wheels on each of my bikes. This time, I was looking to do something unique, and possibly custom, for my road bike.Michael Halliwell May 26, 2017
After a fair bit of searching, comparing and general navel gazing trying to figure out what I'd build, I found that ProWheelBuilder.com (PWB) would give me the best bang for the buck on the parts I had decided on. I ended up having PWB assemble the wheels too...it was a free service with the parts purchase and the incremental cost for duties (wheelsets vs. parts have different duty rates when bringing them into Canada) more than makes up for my time in assembling them myself.
My going more custom than just selecting the parts threw a bit of a wrench in the system, but the gang at PWB made sure things got sorted out in short order. My custom colored, custom engraved Onyx hubs with a leading / trailing pattern of colored spokes were well built into my selected rims. Obvious quality and attention to detail were evident from the packaging of the rims for shipment to the wheels themselves. Straight and true hand built wheels done using the parts I wanted and in the way I wanted them put together...who could ask for more?
Whether for parts or complete wheels, I recommend PWB.
I ordered 2 sets of wheels from these folks and am tremendously glad I did. Debra was excellent and endured way too many questions from me. She was infinitely patient, worked with my budget, made insightful and quality based suggestions and never steered me wrong...even when I wanted more chi-chi spokes. My alloy set is excellent, it was perfectly tensioned right out of the box and ready to roll. Likewise, the set of carbon wheels are almost too pretty to ride, the spokes are perfect and they did not recommend anything I didn't need or want. Many thanks to Richard and all the folks at ProWheelBuilder for working with me. I'll definitely come back when I need a set of CX, MTB or possibly another set of carbon road/gravel hoops.
