Bike Ahead Composites Release Biturbo X Monocoque Carbon Wheels & The Wonderbar
@MrDuck: WR1 builds wheels using a HM wheel building machine. They are not hand building anything. They have even posted this on their social media, jokingly referring to the machines names as "Lacey and Trudy". So I am not sure who you are having faith in exactly?
WR1's newest rims are fantastic, giving you nearly perfect nipple/spoke/flange alignment. Spend the extra money to have them hand built by a good builder and you will likely never see a broken spoke again. The issue with machines is they don't properly prestress/destress spokes, or assure proper spoke path has been achieved for that matter.
