PWB Wheels with Hope Hubs
Custom PWB Wheels on Hope Hubs
Pick a PWB rim we carry, put it on a Hope hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build PWB rims on Hope hubs:
- Made by specialists: Hope hubs made under one roof in Barnoldswick, England
- Proven: we chose each PWB rim after building a lot of wheels on it; Hope's Pro 5 engages at 108 points
- Built to last: Hope holds spares for almost everything it has made
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Terra I22 Carbon road

Road in depth
PWB Terra I22 Carbon wheels on Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs
Our road pick from the PWB and Hope parts we build with. The PWB Terra I22 Carbon is a hookless carbon rim, 22mm inside, 25mm deep, about 365 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Hope Pro 5 Centerlock hubs in 28 hole.
- One 45mm road depth, three widths. Every Ventus is 45mm deep, the depth we picked to balance aero, weight and crosswind manners. The 45C is 17mm inside, the 45CD is 18mm for 25 to 32mm tires, and the 45CDW is 22mm for 28 to 35mm tires.
- Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built PWB wheels on Hope hubs
Every pair on this page is in our builder today, with a rim and hub that fit each other. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.
What PWB rims and Hope hubs each bring
- Chosen by the people who build with them. We do not manufacture these rims. We specify them, test them and put our name on them after building a lot of wheels of each type, and we build them into finished wheels here.
- One 45mm road depth, three widths. Every Ventus is 45mm deep, the depth we picked to balance aero, weight and crosswind manners. The 45C is 17mm inside, the 45CD is 18mm for 25 to 32mm tires, and the 45CDW is 22mm for 28 to 35mm tires.
- Shaped for the tire on it. The Ventus section is wide at the bead so a 28mm tire flows into the rim, and rounded so the airflow stays attached in a gust. That is what keeps the wheel calm in a crosswind.
- Made under one factory roof. Hope designs, tests and makes virtually all of its products in Barnoldswick, England, from CNC machining through anodizing to hand assembly. Hope says that gives it full control of quality and delivery.
- Offset pawls on the Pro 5. Setting the freehub's six pawls out of step raises engagement from 44 points to 108, and the single speed hub reaches 108 with four. Hope cuts the pawls from high strength steel and says the new pawl and spring design adds load capacity and service life.
- Drag cut at the seal and the ratchet. Hope says the Pro 5's labyrinth seal keeps dirt out with zero drag. On the road, the RS4 rear goes a different way, with a reduced-drag two-pawl ratchet at 44 points, or 8 degrees.
Check before you order
- Tires. The Ventus 45C Carbon Textured Brake Track and Ventus 45CD Carbon are hooked; every other PWB rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.
PWB and Hope custom wheel questions
Which Hope hub fits my PWB rim?
The cards on this page start on the Hope hub our customers build with each rim most often (Hope Pro RS4, Hope Pro 5 Centerlock). The builder lists every Hope hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build PWB rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our PWB custom wheel page for every hub that fits each PWB rim, or our Hope custom wheel page for every rim on a Hope hub.
Can you build with a Hope hub or PWB rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
How long will my wheel take?
Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.
Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
