On the other hand, you have larger players like XM CarbonSpeed, who manufacture and develop their rims, hubs, and spokes in-house, invest heavily in design and R&D, and also act as OEM manufacturers for other brands. Tagoola falls into this category as well—not a brand I’ve personally bought from, but one with a very strong reputation.
Can I ask you where you found information about the fact that Tagoola develops and produces its own rims?

Now it seems that there is also their Tagoola website, but at the moment there is not much information on the company and products.

I'm asking you because some time ago I seem to have read that their DAO wheels were very similar to the Yishun RS PRO (rims/hubs/spokes).

Thank you

PS: I bought a set of Tagoola DAO 50mm last year, but I have yet to use them.

Does anyone know if any of the above companies sell anodised/coloured hubs? Lightbicycle offer options for Chris king or hope, but come in at close to £1100 for a wheelset at that spec

H-works make some coloured hubs but I'm not sure what's available. I've got some titanium coloured ones built up by Zen Carbon.

I'm wondering why EliteWheels hasn't been mentioned, I feel like they are really well known and they have some class wheelsets.
Is it because they are a bit "western" that they don't really fit this subject or are the other mentioned brands just better?
The cheapest Elitewheels are a great budget option, but once you get into the $800+ price range there are much better choices.

DFS do some sick colour options on the R2 hub. I can't remember the exact price but it seemed perfectly reasonable to me - i've ordered some with a two-color anodized gradient, not arrived yet.
