really
Being as you're hinting at the manufacturer and I'm not sure which it is:? ...can you please specify...sry if this ruins the suspense you were trying to set up btw
Hi,
A Dutch carbon manufacturer? Like who? Heineken?
Sorry but Pro is just another distributor of rebadged Taiwanese goodies just like most of the others.
To the best of my knowledge they don't make doodley squat themselves.
Their products are distributed through the same channel that gets you Selcof, Shimano, Giro and a raft of others. (Bikegear.nl)
They offer rims and wheels under the "Pro" name too but I haven't seen any disks from them yet but then maybe my catalogue just ain't "Pro" enough....
It does make for a good billboard though.....
Ciao,
shimano bought them
by a dutch carbon "manufacturer".

Pro is just a brand name of Shimano Europe/Benelux. That is the reason that all the teams with this wheel also ride with Shimano groupsets and wheels.

It's OK, I found one. £550. Do they look well made, and are they only available with that horrible logo?
