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.

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. Best customer service.
