Velocity Chukker Rims

Ha.

Straight guage all the way.

Though I'd like to give those Sapim Strong spokes a try but they are pricey...

I reckon they're worth the investment, i haven't broken a single one yet.

where are the chukker rims available from, can't find them online. Somewhere in or around Bricklane i pressume!?

Brick Lane Bikes is the distributor. Other shops can buy them, but Velocity stuff is likely to be cheaper from BLB direct.

I still have a chukker 36h rim laced 3x with plain gauge spokes to a velocity front hub, for sale. PM if interested.

Note the one-footer shot of the logo guy. In London they... don't play that shot.

Hmmm

anyway, does anyone know if there's a warranty on chukkers?

I put a new tyre on last night and discovered a massive crack in my rim

it was only a 36 from when blb didn't have any fixed/fixed 48 hubs... So I'm using it as an excuse to get 48, but i'd like to know if I can wave my damaged rim in blb's face! So to speak.

Worth a try mate, you havent had it that long, and they're MEANT to be bombproof, even when carrying your heavy load ;)

I don't think you want to know about my heavy load.

Yeah it's been under a year, but over six months... And they've done a few thousand miles plus probably an average of one polo session a week, all with around 17 stone on them (and the rest!) so I'm not too unhappy With them...

how long you had it? I'd give it a go mate.

I've just heard from Mat and he's just noticed the inner tube sticking out of his 48 deep v rim!

So he's now racing around trying to find a new rim and will have to rebuild a wheel in the next few hours on top of packing for the worlds!

Might be worth ringing Bicycle workshop if the usual suspects don't deliver a 48 at short notice.

I bumped into matt in blb, he purchased a chukker rim, although that might not get him out of the woods... As he now needs shorter spokes than he had on his deep v (only 2 mm...)...

go 4 cross?

I still have a 48h 4 cross pair of velocity chukkers. laced with dt swiss competition to BLB freestyle hubs. barely used. PM if interested

anyone know the smallest width tyres chukkers will take?

Likely to be 28mm.

No point going small if the rims is designed for bigger.

Wuttur. I run 23c on my chukkers.

Yeah, they're 24mm wide. So 23mm tyres.

my mistake, mistook 24mm as internal.

Definitely 23mm tyres.
