I wanted to wait until I had some miles on the wheels before giving feedback. I am a clydesdale rider. I ride hard, but would certainly fall into what Grant Petersen (Rivendale Cycles) would call an "unracer". I love my bike. I chose it and it chose me...but it's not a high end super bike. It's hard to justify spending gobs of money on a wheelset, when really, all you want is something you never have to worry about that fits your style.Frank Engel June 07, 2021
Enter Prowheelbuilders.com. I had considered builds in the $400-500 range from my local shop (they weren't really interested) and other online sources. Ultimately Prowheelbuilders.com had the best value, and offered a good strong hand laced wheel for my budget. I been riding these wheels for about 400 miles over varied terrain: road, gravel, bikeway, and single track (including rock gardens). Everything is solid. I have not needed any touch up truing, and I suspect everything will hold together nicely for ages. I wanted a high(ish) engagement hub, and opted for the Bitex MTR--there's not a lot online about this hub, so I'll share here that I am satisfied. The engagement is much faster than a typical factory wheel you'd see on an <$2k bike. The sound is loud-ish, and not unpleasant, but it sounds nothing like a high end hub.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and the quality of work. I'm sold, and will come to Prowheelbuilder.com for any future wheel purchases.
Amazing wheels, great price, and incredible customer service. Could not be happier with my purchase of HED Belgiums with Chris King hubs. I am a 23mm rim convert now. Comfort and handling are greatly improved and the wheels truly are faster. At 3000 miles now the wheels have been virtually bombproof and that is for a bigger guy that rides aggressively. That being said NO wheel is designed to handle the crash I had yesterday. Now PWB is replacing my rear rim at a discount with no charge for other parts or labor. Cannot recommend PWB enough. I will continue to buy my wheels from them.RW September 03, 2013
