I ordered some LB wheels on 3/29/22. Went with the AR45's with Bitex BX312 hubs and Sapim CX Ray spokes in flyweight version.

Here is an email I just got today:
Dear Steve,
Sorry, the new batch of hubs with logos is still in transit and we have no idea when they will arrive.
We have the hubs without logos in stock. Are they okay for you?
If yes, we will arrange the wheels building and ship them out to you asap.
Best regards,
Grace:)

Does this seem right that some bitex hubs have logos and others don't?
I've ordered 3 sets of wheels from LB in the past with no issues but this seems odd to me.
Thanks for any feedback

It seems right to me. Saves you the work to remove the logos

I believe Bitex makes a lot of hubs for other companies and rebrands them for said companies. So, it could be they have some Bitex hubs they were either planning to brand as LB, or maybe for some other company they are doing contract manufacturing for.

I got the same email regarding my wheels. I asked why they have unbranded. The reply: "We purchase them from another supplier, but don't worry, they are Bitex hubs, Bitex company manufactures hubs with logo or no logo for requirements."
I said to go ahead with the unbranded.

BTW, I got the same wheels 😁

I have two pairs of Bitex hubs and neither has any logos. Now granted mine were powder coated white by special request but it just goes to show you that Bitex will happily sell unbranded hubs.
