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
Light Bicycle w/ Bitex build

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."Zero7 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 3:42 pmI ordered some LB wheels on 3/29/22.

I said to go ahead with the unbranded.
