Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Bright red rims

I just picked up a nice set of hi flange Campy 36 hole hubs for my new project track bike.

Does anyone know where I can find bright red rims? I'm thinking powdercoat bright red like a fire engine.

Thanks

Deep V's...red is powdercoated, not anodized like some of the other colors

Can one actually order rims from Velocityusa.com?
I didn't think you could.
In which case, call Yojimbo's Garage in Chicago, they have the best stock of colored Deep Vs I know.

you cannot order direct from velocity

^^Listen to Hyper-Eddie, the conjoined twins of fixed lore. They speaketh the truth.

The OP said find them.
There was no mention of purchasing them.

Enjoy

I guess it's possible he only wants to look at pictures of them.
And just hold his new campy hubs up against said picture.
For some people, that's enough.

actually you can get red in anodized or powdercoated, or at least you used to. hence my machined electric red anodized rims

they're actually a deeper red than the powdercoated.

powdercoating = ruined by brake pads.

right??

I think any colored non-machined rim, either anondized or powdercoated, will be destroyed by brake pads.
Powdercoating might take a little longer to wear off, however.

well not to fan flames…

…but he did say TRACK bike

:D

oh well if it is machined then I'm postive that it will be destroyed. But machined colored rims do exist.

Stay in line, Hyper-Eddie

Were those bikes seperated at birth?

Huh?
Colored velocity rims come in both machined (with the bare braking surface) and non-machined.

nvm.

what are you, stuck in the nineteen fifties, sherriff? it's velocity rims of color.

Lol

yes they were. they're both from the same manufacturer with manufacturer-option wheels.

So where can you ****ing buy them??

try superspokes.com. it's a pain in the ass to navigate, but they sell velocity rims all the way at the bottom right of the velocity page.

^^^ www.yojimbosgarage.com

call them and ask for marcus

That was fun.

Is is strange that smaller IROs have sloping downtubes, while larger ones don't? Or is that an optical illluuuusionn?

Pic of my rear wheel. Red Fir Net97 rim w/ machined sidewalls. A little different....

as far as i can tell, my tt slopes very slightly down towards the seat tube. however, in the crappy picture i posted, the rear wheel is lower than the front wheel - my saddle is set level

powers2b's posts are freaking me out.

Sinfield, those rims are awesome. Those would be perfect. This is a track bike so no brakes to worry about. Where did you get them?

Man, you're not kidding about the navigation. There's so much I can't make any sense of it.

Where did you get them?

Call Yojimbo's Garage, Chicago.

Will do. Thanks so much.

they should do something about that. that being said, you can get rims that sell for far too much on ebay for something reasonable there, if you're willing to dig.

When I call I'm going to ask if they'll build a set of wheels around my old hubs. I was thinking of black spokes.

They definitely would, but that would require you sending them your hubs, which is probably more of a hassle.
I'd just get the rims and take it to a local shop to get built.

I could go that route too.

so I'm reading through and a little confused. Does velocity make an anodized non-machined red Deep V rim?

Non-machined + Anondized?
Not sure.

Non-machined + Powdercoat?
yes.

I think it's different frames. The Angus slopes and the Mark V don't. I think...

you can also buy em from www.irocycle.com

Just rims?

Could you post the link to the rims, cause seriously I can't find it.

imo id go w/ machined powdercoated- ano fades after some time

http://www.superspokes.com/wheels.html very bottom on the right side. $46.75 sounds like a good deal. Anybody order from this site before, problems? thanks

My buddy and I ordered a couple sets of deep v rims from them. Navigation is a biotch on the site, but they were very prompt with email questions (he wrote right back from his blackberry). The rims were drop shipped from Velocity to my buddy's place, no problem. I'm going to order a set of white nm deep v's from them real soon.

I ordered everything I'll need for my new wheels today. The folks at Yojimbo's were very cool. I got the red deep V velocity rims, silver nipples, spokes, tires and tubes on the way.

Good to hear, i'm going to inquire about shipping in a minute.
