Deep V Velocity wheels and general

Those DT swiss rims are nice, but they're even heavier than Deep Vs which is a little off putting - (580g (DT) vs 520g (Deep V) vs 430g (CXP-33)). I'm a pretty big fan off the Mavic CXP-33 as alternative to Deep-Vs, they're a little lighter and build into decent track/street wheels.

See now I'm getting all squirrely, when people say a wheel is heavy, how heavy is heavy, got some campag scirocco rims on my soma which are 770g front and 955g rear, and they feel light to me, (coming from a very old mountain bike) so the DT's would be half of what I've already got, going to get them built to 32 hole red phils. The Mavic's I haven't even thought about, though I know lots of boys on here swear by them. Decisions, decisions...[/quote]

I've never weighed my wheels but you can work out total weight quite easily. I just look at individual component masses.

= rim + (number of spokes * (spoke weight + nipple weight)) + rim tape + tyre

wotcher eeehhh

i've got a spanking brand new pair of cxp33's that i bought

[just before roberto sold me cxp30's, damn i'm a sucker for those] save postage and i'll knock a few quid off if you're interested

i heard someone say roberto's got a whole box of rims... CXP30 or 33?

I've recently purchased 32h Deep V's and Im likin the extra weight,nice, solid feel to em. Bought an awful color tho.

I'll let you know because I'm still deciding at the moment. Going upto London tomorrow to have a look at some.

I bought my yellow deep V's from bricklane, one machined, one none-machined. they had tonnes in when I picked them up about a month ago...

The weight is noticable from my old bike, but just in the fact that the bike feels a bit more solid really. It also feels like it can take more punishment without the bike caving in under me.. potholes etc.
