| I had some wheels built earlier this year with a Son front and a Silver rear hub.
I think they might just be out of stock? 🤞
I’ve been really happy it.

I don't remember what happened to them or why they were discontinued. I know that not too too long ago RIch had some stock that he would use on some of his build to order stuff if you wanted but it would have to be done through him AND I have no idea if they still exist. No 40 but they did come in 36 for the rear. On Friday, August 11, 2023 at 11:33:20 AM UTC-4 Josh C wrote:
Also, oddly enough Silver hubs are gone from the Riv site. Anyone know the story there?

Thanks Victor.
Johnny, I've had loads of Deore hubs and currently have them on my Atlantis wheel set. They are a good option just not on the same level as Onyx or White Ind.

I don't know any midwest wheelbuilders to suggest but I can comment on the rear hub. I got some wheels build by Rich at Rivendell and we paired the Deore hubs with the Cliffhangers. He likes the hubs a bunch and they have been great for me. Very quiet. No need to spend a ton to get a really well made quiet hub.

I could use a recommendation for a good wheel builder. I've used prowheelbuilder.com in the past and have no complaints. Not sure how I landed on them. Just curious if there is another business that I should be looking into? I'm located in Indianapolis as well, and would prefer sending business to a local or at least midwest company if possible.
I'm looking for a set of 700c wheels for my Atlantis. I'm thinking I'll do velocity cliffhangers with a SON up front and a nice rear hub. The rear is not yet totally decided as I like quiet hubs but there are not many options in rim brake, 36-40h hubs these days. I've got an onyx silent hub on my crust and love it but they only go up to 32h and I'd prefer 36 or 40 as I'm a big dude. Which is why I'm thinking about a white industry (loud as they come) rear hub in 36 or 40h.
Anyway. I'd like to hear about your preferred wheel builders.
