I am considering the T11 or M15 to replace the Phil wheels on my road bike. They have gone 70K miles and were rebuilt a few years ago after running into some unprotected milled pavement edges that bent both rims.

I am also considering the CLD or XMR disc hubs for the new build.

Peter White built the Phil wheels originally but doesn't appear to carry White Industries. Do you know of any good wheel builders that use White Industries hubs? There is no USA dealer locator on the WI website.

Peter would probably build you a set with WI hubs, if not Sugar Wheelworks or Bill Mould should be able to help and if not them there are plenty of other excellent wheel builders out there.

I typically order direct through WI but if your wheel builder does order through them, that is fine as well. They are super friendly and easy to work with.
