Spank Hubs Custom Hand Built Wheels
Custom Spank Hub Wheels, Built by Hand
Pick a Spank hub, choose your rim, spokes and color, and we lace and true the wheel ourselves, one at a time, in our Georgia shop.

How it works
From parts bin to your doorstep
1Pick your parts
Choose a Spank hub, then the rim, spokes and nipples. The builder only offers parts that fit together.
2We measure and prep
Rim and hub are measured here: real ERD, real flange geometry. Spokes are cut to the length your build needs.
3Laced by hand
One builder laces your wheel on the stand. No machine builds, ever.
4Tensioned and trued
Brought up to even tension, stress-relieved, trued round and true, and checked again after it settles.

Specs, pairings and FAQ
Custom hand built wheels with Spank hubs
Spank builds rims and hubs for gravity and trail riding, with rim profiles shaped to resist the pinch impacts that flat-spot a conventional section.
We lace Spank hubs to the rim of your choice and build the 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 flange geometry of your exact hub, not estimated from the model name.
The Spank hubs we build with
These are J-bend hubs, which take standard J-bend spokes - the widest choice of gauge, color and material, and the easiest to source anywhere in the world if you ever break one far from home.
What to pair with a Spank hub
A wheel is a system: the rim decides the tire and the braking, the hub decides the drivetrain and the axle fit, and the spokes have to suit both. Start from whichever end matters most to you and the configurator will keep the other end compatible.
Popular Spank hub and rim pairings
Rims our customers build with each Spank hub, led by the pairings they choose most often in our build records since 2009. Every rim listed is in the builder today in a drilling and brake type that fits; tap a hub to start that build.

Spank custom wheel questions
Can you build a wheel with a Spank hub I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own hub 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 for that exact hub. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
Can a Spank hub be relaced into a new rim later?
Yes, and it is one of the better arguments for a quality hub. When the rim wears out or cracks, send us the wheel and we will build the hub into a new rim with new spokes. Spokes are not reused - they have taken a set at the old rim's dimensions.
How long will my Spank 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.
