I’ve been trying to find a low-profile rim that is available in colors (white, specifically). The Velocity Aerohead is the only rim I’ve found that is low-profile (no Deep V’s for me) and is also available in a number of colors. Any comments on the Aerohead, in regards to durability and strength? Anybody know of any inexpensive alternatives?
Thanks all, and yes, I already took care of the bag/jar/receptacle of dicks.
Whoa, already finished? You must’ve just gotten the free trial size jar. There’s more where those came from.
As for the aeroheads, my buddy’s got red ones with the Off-Center in back on his Schwinn Peloton and they look badass. He’s got quite a few miles on them and they seem to hold up well. I’m going to be building up a wheelset with the flat black set for my Trek. Exciting stuff.
I know of no alternatives. Back to your dick consumption.
Technically i have a set of white aeroheads. I have never ridden them. Trackatino has though…
Very few rims come in colors other than black/silver… other than deep-v knockoffs like weinnmans i can’t think of any that are sold pre-anodized or pre-powdercoated, and unless you got a hook up it’s a giant waste of money to get that done yourself just for rims.
Lessee, I’ve seen CXP-33s anodized blue and red, so pretty. Aerohead O/C makes a strong rear wheel if you’re geared. Otherwise, HTFU and get some rims powdercoated if you care about colors that much.
Thanks for the replies. Guess I’ll start shopping for those Aeroheads then. I was hoping to get into a set of them laced to Formula hubs for around the same price as a set of Deep Vs, but that’s not going so well right now. Anybody know where I can get a good deal on these?
spray paint whatever the fuck cheap box rims you can get cheap. before you build them. who gives a shit. you’ll get sick of them in a year anyway, or destroy them. seriously. it does not matter.
(i have done this, in pink, to me14a rims. they were $10 each.)
