I was going to buy a set of wheels from thebikebiz.com. White Phil hubs to white Deep Vs. Here's a quote from the email they sent me: "Wheel price would be $675 USD, and shipping will be approximately $200 USD". So... $875. Yesterday I received a pair of the exact same wheels from Richard at prowheelbuilder.com. Total cost including shipping: $594.70. That's almost $300 difference for the exact same item. I ordered them Sept 6 and received them September 18, so less than two weeks later. I only had to pay $31 in taxes and no customs. The wheels are fantastic and the price was great. Thanks Richard!

Needed a quality wheel set to replace the OEM set on my Trek Stache. I appreciate that I was able to work with one employee from start to finish who built my White Industries XMR hubs laced with Spain Polyx 14mm spokes to WTB KOM Tough TCS 40mm rims. That was nearly three years ago and this 29+ wheel set still spins true today. I have absolutely no concerns whatsoever and will be requesting another custom build for my new Trek Fuel EXE.
