Anyone about to purchase Deep V's?

Will do... Don't worry about the flatmate, he's had his chance... :)

Pistanator [quote]TobyOneKanobe Oh balls... i've just bought a built-up pair last night from the States!!! Arse....

Where from Americancycle?[/quote]

No from Bell Cycles (via fleabay), i bought ltd edition (apparently) forest green ones built up with formula high flange track flip flop hubs, which aren't that bad really, £110 BUILT UP. £30 shipping, mind you still £100 cheaper than Cavendish quoted me :)

Um yeah they look good for the money i nearly bought some recently but i only want a rear. anyone want a front celeste blue deep v i could go halves with??

Nice. They metallic too, look almost British Racing Green?

Cheers... I looooove this colour, i nearly bought the plain bright green ones but these suit my project way waaaaay more! this is their spec -

Hubs - Formula/IRO/Velocity High Flange Sealed Bearing Rear Flip-Flop Fixed/Fixed Black 32h
Spokes - DT Swiss Champion Black 2.0mm, DT Swiss Nipples Black
Rims - Velocity Deep-V Anodized Dark Forest Green Ltd ed. 700c w/non-machined sidewalls 32h
Lacing - 3x

Can't wait..... i'm all excited :)

Look so much better with nmsw. Just make sure you take off those awful yellow stickers!

Heh heh... will have to practice more with no brakes so as to keep the front wheel intact.... i'm a wimp and ride freewheel and a nice safe realiable reassuring shiny loveable front brake!

Not with those you don't young man!

Now go and wash your mouth out with soap, and come back when you've learned better.
Brakes with unmachined Deep Vs. As if I've ever heard such a thing...

^ lol@dunce

nothing's wrong with that combination actually, it'll still work albeit with a tiny little more stopping distance (oh, still shorter than skid stops mind), the only thing wrong is the Deep V itself :P

Conan Im after a light blue (celeste) one if they have one, unmachined.

thats my color holmes, though i rock a break

edmundane nothing's wrong with that combination actually

Except that it will screw all the paint off the edge no?
Unless their anodized, I guess. How much wear and tear from brake blocks can anodization stand up to? Any nerdy science types out there?

it's sort of a general concensus that deep v users will eventually go brakeless i guess...

what i know is Mavic's CD hard-anodizing process can take one hell of a rubbing.

... pass! They are anodized though... anyway, i am going fixed but gonna keep a front brake there for when i fuck up, which i am sure i will do at some point and i bet my lil-arse it will be whilst going round elephant and castle (hell) roundabout!!! wanna keep all that joocy forest green paint right where it is! :)

Ok got 2x silver and 2x black un-machined, only got em for £33 (down from £38). they are getting more shortly both machined and un-machined. At this stage they're taken, i've whispered the people.

Have I missed the boat? Looking for a pair of white, one machined
