Tend to agree, and I'll probably run the black deep v on the front most of the time, but love the hed too, and my desire for the hed to look right isn't enough for me to run no brakes...
Agree on living with the chain, but it would look great tighter!
Running it on the HED for ponce value, and cos it looks great. Need to remove a link from the chain to tighten up the rear wheel, but feels great, sharp and lovely...
Arrived with a bike I bought that I am butchering. Pair of barely used black Deep Vs (front/back obviously). Both rims machined, front with a tiny bit of use (yards not miles). Lovely silver/chrome Suzue Pro Max hubs which are pretty much brand new.
36 holes. And yes, I know they stopped making them, but I'm a searcher...
