I had ProWheelBuilder set up a pair of DT Swiss RR521 rims w/ Bitex hubs for my Ibis Hakka MX. The Stan's Crest set that it came with are probably fine as a backup wheelset, but I have a little more heft on me, and these DT rims are absolutely bulletproof, beautiful, and straight as an arrow. I am planning on buying another 650B set from PWB in the near future that I can use on either of my gravel bikes. These guys absolutey know what they're doing.

I'm a heavy rider and a clyde of sorts at 280lbs. I knew I could depend on the stock wheels for a limited lifespan. So far I've had FOUR sets (3 road, one MTB) of custom wheels built from both the signature and custom programs. Not one has required a spoke wrench yet with seasons of abuse that I've put them through. All are still in service. I put 50-100 miles a week on my bikes, and the wheels have been 100% reliable. A good set of wheels can vastly improve the quality of your biking experience. This is the real deal with a lot of experience and no BS. Trust in this builder - they know their products. Bitex hubs are an awesome value.
