I have a wheelset built up around some Velocity Deep V rims from around 2012, one of which blew out today. I don't think there are many of these rims around, so what alternatives are there which are a similar profile?

Old school narrow rims are vanishing. There’s probably a Kinlin rim that’s a similar height, will be a wider internal but that’s good.

If you’re hoping to leave the spokes in place and just swap rims, I would ask those shops who sold loads of Deep Vs bitd, see if there’s one knocking around. BLB is the obvious start.

Can you go deeper? H plus son SL42 are deeper, 13.5mm internal

Thanks both for the responses.

I'm happy to go wider, I'm more concerned about the depth of the rim - deeper is OK.

What's a typical internal with on modern rims - I'll still be planning to run 25's.

16-18mm internal seems to be the new normal for 25c.

I've been using their db version for years.

How deep are Kinlin XR31? Same goes for them.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
