What rims are these?

I'm trying to spec a nice set of wheels up (isn't everyone) but don't really want the weight of Deep V's but do want the profile. I'm hoping that these rims aren't Deep Vs - anyone any ideas? I like the all black look and even though I'll be running a front brake I'm hoping I can get away with a non-machined rim (or is this wishful thinking?)

Velocity Aero-heads maybe?

could be velocity aeroheads? they don't look deep enough to be deep vs.

that is one nice bike.

bahh, beat me to it!

Aerohead is only 19mm deep though

Aerohead is only 19mm deep though

Deep Vs are only 30mm - so that is not a bad call on the Aeroheads ?

Dunno they look deeper than Aeros to me.

I would use the Halo rims that are 30mm and light or the CXP33 which are indestructable.

Velocity fusions?

DT Swiss RR 1.2's are also 30mm deep.

True. Are they lighter than the Halos?

Alternatively just get a nice lightweight tubular carbon rim.

Those Halo's look nice but they're machined. Looking at the different weights of rims - the Fusion is 45g less than the Deep V. Would this be noticeable when accelerating?

Also, is anyone running Deep Vs or Fusions that are anodized and without machined braking surfaces? Can you still stop OK?

My rim colour will decide what hub and spoke colours I go for i.e. if I can get away with black anodized rims I'm going for black hubs and spokes. If not it looks like CXP33s with silver hubs and spokes.

your brakes will wear the anodising off.

90g/pair of rotational mass will make some difference, but outside of the track/race - nothing to worry about - you could offset the extra weight by choosing a lighter tyre/tube - there is easily 90g to be saved in tyre and tube choice.

why would you want to run a front brake with out a machined braking surface???

to keep it lookin pretty chubby cheeks ;)

what about these for sublety?
getting some of the black ones :p

Ooh! Holy spangley sex batman.

D'oh. Damn quicktypengers…

that bike at the top of this thread is utterly sexual.

Fuck me, just that, fuck me.

Very excellent.

my new bike is going to kick arse on your hip hop slave bike :p

Right, after a marathon web session (mouse-click induced RSI to follow no doubt) I've decided on Black non-machined Deep V for the rear, Open Pro CD for the front - hopefully gives me a nice black look. Got my black Phil Wood's today Gotta find myself some lightweight black spokes and I'm all set to go, well, still got months to wait for the frame but accruing a sweet pile of bits.

Cheers for the advice all.
