How is this wheel build?

https://i.imgur.com/b3TZjhi.png

I was dumb and got my wheels stolen. I only had stock ones, so not a huge deal. How is this build? I need 650c wheels for my frame. They are hard to come by otherwise I would just buy from the LBS.

Let me know you thoughts. I didn't want really cheap stuff, but I also didn't want to spend over $600. I still have to pick up tires and tubes. I'll be using it for commuting mostly and leisure, nothing fancy. Also has anyone ordered from prowheelbuilder.com?

Any suggestions for where and what to buy are welcome.

Bikes: 34 frames + 80 wheels

32 spokes per wheel is total overkill for 650c wheels. I suggest you contact Richard Snook at Wabi Cycles contact@wabicycles.com and ask if he'll sell you a set of the wheels he supplies with the 650c Wabi Classic. I have a set on my Wabi Lightning, and they are both strong and very lightweight.

I looked through their site and can't seem to figure out where to choose 650c wheel options. I know they offer smaller frames with 650c, but there doesn't seem to be any options when checking out a wheelset.

Thanks Tejano, I'll shoot him an email and see whats available.

For anyone interested in getting some 650c wheels, I went with Wabi Cycle wheels. Richard was a pleasure to communicate with and quickly got my order out. I'm really looking forward to it.

Wabi wheels are an amazing value. Mine have performed wonderfully.
