Manufacturing a wheel automates the tensioning of all the spokes at once .
so bike factories and big wholesale companies supplying shops across the country have those.. Machines.
get a discount wheel, online it was probably produced that way.

How many wheels do you need? 50?

a supplier to bike shops, like QBP, can ship built wheels using any parts in their inventory,
those back rooms have people who are just wheelbuilders .. one after another

for touring reliability, I built 700c wheels with a 48 spoke rear, 40 spoke front..


ask for an overbuilt wheel ?
