I'm looking for a new wheelset for my Pista. I'm fairly new to the FG scene but all I see are people with Deep V rims. What makes them so popular besides looks and why are they supposedly so good? I tried to do a search but it didn't come up with much info.

They're strong and come in lots of colors for those with color coordination in mind.

They're popular because of looks and colors. End of story.

pretty much what they said... they are heavy wheels... they come in all kinds of hole drillings... all colors.. deep aero profile... very tank like... etc.

They are out of fashion. They are a strong rim for street riding.

strong for tricks
my alex rims are still true after riding on them for 4 months or so, they have a deep profile to them also
not fashionable? who says?

instead if you buy velocity fusions, it will look like deep v but weigh a lot less. those are perfect heavy duty wheels.

They are strong, come in lots of drillings, and look great.

End thread.

they were the only wheels I'd found in orange.
not so much different than why women wear heels.
go figure

Is u-locking your handlebars to the doorknob very effective, pedex?

nah, that's where I store my U-lock so I don't forget it, I put it on the doorknob and I hang my keys from the deadbolt :)

normally the bike goes the other way with the front to the left and sitting on that big piece of cardboard so it doesn't F up my carpet........which hasn't helped much
