Has this been posted? Thought this was cooler than ^^^

Does anyone know where I can get a built rear single deep V in solid black or preferably bright polished silver from an actual bike store instead of craigslist or ebay?

Are deep V's from origin 8 decent?

Some girl hit me with her car as she was turning out a one-way street going the WRONG WAY so she paid for a front and now I am looking for a rear. /coolstorybro

haha too funny, but it depends what you're looking for in the front wheel. Mavic open pros are never bad. Relatively light and since it appears you aren't doing any actual track racing they're great for riding on the road. They stay in true very well.

Open Pros are nice. But I was hoping to get something a little bit more aero. Apparently CXP33s are a little better in that department without compromising a lot of weight. I was thinking about getting some bladed spokes and lacing one of those to like a Chub front. Maybe a Dura Ace. Can't make up my mind on a hub either.

Considering the fact that my frame is an '05, it's a little bit on the heavier side anyway. I might just say fuck it. My homie needs money and told me he'd shoot me his aerospoke for 75. lol

also never saw the allure of super deep v rims (formation face, b43, etc). heavy and uggo imo. would much rather have box rims

A DeepV and a B43 is one thing. But what the fuck is the point of riding with some big ass tires? So you can bust a dope back flip off a loading dock? Go back to bmx bro. Fact of the matter is the lighter your shit, the quicker you're gonna be. I'm not saying you have to go dual fuckin discs, but two b43s and some fat ass tires is completely counterproductive and unnecessary.

my friend runs fatass tires and he's quicker than most people riding fuji track pros with 25s, so what? he has never popped a tube for the past year. the dude also goes on like 30-40 mile rides too and runs through bad road like nothing (cracks, rocky roads, and all that)

are you that slow that you cant ride fat tires?
