PWB Wheels with Phil Wood Hubs
Custom PWB Wheels on Phil Wood Hubs
Pick a PWB rim we carry, put it on a Phil Wood hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build PWB rims on Phil Wood hubs:
- Made by specialists: Phil Wood hubs designed, made and assembled in San Jose, California since 1971
- Proven: we chose each PWB rim after building a lot of wheels on it; Phil Wood specifies every bearing it uses, many made only for it
- Built to last: Phil Wood gives the original owner a limited lifetime warranty
- 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs
Our road pick from the PWB and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc 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.
- Classic or Pro. The Pro swaps the Classic's stainless axle and end caps for 7075 aluminum, which Phil says cuts about 34 percent of the weight on its road hubs, depending on the configuration. Check the rating before you choose: Phil lists 280 pounds of rider and bike on Classic hubs and 190 pounds on Pro.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built PWB wheels on Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood 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.
- Built around low maintenance since 1971. Phil Wood was founded to make maintenance-free hubs and still designs, makes and assembles them in San Jose, California. A front hub shell passes through seven production stations before assembly.
- Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.
- Bearings made to Phil's spec. Phil Wood specifies the characteristics of every bearing it uses, and it says many are made exclusively for it. If a bearing wears out, Phil's answer is to replace the cartridge rather than repack it.
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 Phil Wood custom wheel questions
Which Phil Wood hub fits my PWB rim?
The cards on this page start on the Phil Wood hub our customers build with each rim most often (Phil Wood Pro, Phil Wood Pro Disc). The builder lists every Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood custom wheel page for every rim on a Phil Wood hub.
Can you build with a Phil Wood 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.
