WTB - Carbon Fiber Rims

I bought a set of Kinlin XR31s with Bitex Hubs, and have been putting them through the paces for a bit over a month now. The wheels are an absolute treat to ride. In addition to feeling quite responsive, they are exceptionally well built. Customer service was also excellent throughout the ordering process. I will not hesitate to buy future sets of wheels from prowheelbuilder.

I can't say enough good things about PWB. My road bike gets daily abuse on a long, hilly commute over bad roads and gravel trails. I was looking for something that was light enough to climb well, tough enough for gravel, and precise enough to handle long descents through mountain switchbacks. The ride has chewed up two stock Bontrager wheelsets and even a set of Mavics. Local wheelbuilders weren't able to quote me anything they thought would work for less than a grand.

I considered a wide range of rims, hubs, and wheelbuilders before Debra at PWB suggested I take a look at the Ventus Premium wheelset. Watching a YouTube video of them bombing down trails gave me confidence that they might fit the bill. I'm glad I took her advice. They are light, responsive, and hold true even after a few months on gravel, and the custom red hubs look really sharp to boot.
