Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - My new wheels!!

Well as many of you know, I have been in the process of building up a new wheelset.

477 dollars later I have my Phil Wood, black open pro wheelset on my bike!!!

Yeah I am stoked, I will take pics once I get my camera back form HereNT...

Anyway, time to go and test them out...


Phil

(P.S. Thanks all for the suggestion of radial lacing the front wheel, looks uber-sexy)

Can't wait to see the pics....

Ok here is the first pic...

Number 2...

Numero tres...

And the last one...

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wheels.

DOH!

BEEEEYOOOOOOTEEEFULLLLLLLLLL!!!!

they look a lot like my wheels. but i don't have the CD open pros...i just have black ones. and my rear is fixed/free...with nothing on the free side...most pointless purchase made by me ever.

What is the CD denoting anyway? I didn't even notice...


Phil

ceramic coating on the rims. supposedly to help the braking or something...

Like I needed that, the bike I put the wheels on doesn't have brakes... LOL...

Phil

Nice wheels

Scha-weet! They're enough to make a Quaker jealous. The black spokes are a nice detail. I didn't catch if you laced these up yourself or farmed 'em out.

Those are some sexy wheels......

The large flange? Black spoke front pic #3 is ....better than most front wheel ever I set glazzies onto.
Smashing!

I'm liking those Phils...dangit now I want some of those high flange hubs. Sweet wheels, Goatmeal.

Beautiful wheels! How do they the ride? :)

Well they ride AWESOME...

I was actually surprised how light they were, I wasn't actually expecting them be so light, considering I was building them for solidity and durability. When I lift the front wheel off that ground and spin it, the wheel seems to spin forever, usually I get bored first.
I recommend to everyone to get set like em, you won't be dissapointed (surprising eh?)

yeah those are nice i have the same set but with silver spokes and both front and back are laced te same. i love the open pro cd rims tehy look hot and are very nice for city riding

I think I spend 30+ extra for the black spokes, I don't really know... It was purely for looks though, that is all..

Phil

nicely done. Hot wheels.

That's not that orange Miyata is it? I hope you didn't paint that. I loved the orange bike.

K. Don't worry that isn't the Miyata...

It is the Kuwahara...

Here is a picture of the two of them making out...

Notice the new yellow tires on the Miyata, I don't blame the Kuwahara for wanting to make out with her.. heck, I almost have...

Both bikes are really nice. Orange miyata is uber cool. thanks for the pix.

nice wheels! Can't wait to build mine up but they won't be as nice as yours though. I'm really digging the orange of your Miyata and the orange/blue combo of those KHS bikes...perhaps a repainting of my Miele is in order soon...

Again nice wheels, did ya build'em yourself? Was that answered already? I may have missed your answer.
