I am looking at those two options. I am looking for reliable set of rims. Those two seems to have a good reps?

NOBL TR 37 price is great. I am kind of thinking going this way but I only have high praise on We Are One.

Not sure what I should pick?

Knight composites are supposed to be really good rims, quite rare aswell so you will have something different, expensive though.

Ive seen both in person and you cant go wrong with either

both with lifetime warranty and both business based outta BC

If it were me I'd go with NOBL, based on I dont like the finish on the WAO, not saying the are bad...just like the look of the NOBLs

In 2016 I bought a set of non-boost Nobl TR-36 on torch hubs for $1300. No issues in 2 years of riding. Sold them with that bike and bought another boost set with my new build in 2018. I reached out to Nobl and asked if they offer any deals for returning customers. Hooked me up with 10% off. Those wheels are still going strong. I'm 220 lbs and ride rocky trails in Arizona. No tire inserts, but I check my psi before every ride, no exceptions. Recently bought another bike that came with Reynolds carbon wheels. Not very impressed. They are harsh and don't look nearly as rice as the Nobl rims. Never rode WAO, but I'm sure they are legit.

Same. I really like the design of the new generation of NOBL. But WAO have great reviews right now.

I was told yesterday by a local bike shop that the warranty was long to process. They did not want to carry them for now because of that.

That's pretty much the opposite experience of most. The majority of stories report new rims being in the mail within 24 hours.

ETA: can't break mine so I don't know for certain

I believe you. That same shop only carry ENVE now. That is a rim that I am not interested in to.

I got new from NOBL yesterday. I will see what they can do for me but I am still open for WAO also.

Any more thoughts on NOBL? How compliant are they? And any experience with the warranty?

Cant comment, but I can say WA1 wheels are legit.

I have a pair of the TR37's with i9 hubs and they're awesome! Can't say that I'm pushing the limits enough to notice minute differences, but the wave profile of the rim looks really cool! Got the Nobl's because my friends were riding for them and nudged me in that direction, but totally would get them again in a heartbeat.

When comparing the little details, both have bomber warranties for the original purchaser so not much difference there, unless you want to consider the warranty to the second owner, which in that case WA1 wins.
