Hi guys. I saw the bike below on a recent trip to New York and wondered what type of rim the red one on the front is. Any ideas?

Could I run this rim, and one the same on the back, on a bike with 7 gears on the back?

Thanks,

Michael.

i'm not sure, but i was told that those kind of rims are for fixies and aren't made for break pads to be on them..but i'm probably wrong..haha no help at all..

It's most likely this wheel:

You'd have to get to get the T42's which don't come in red because the eero's don't have a braking surface (which is why he has a regular wheel on the rear). You could also go with a wheel that's not quite as deep like the Velocity Deep V:

That said you'll probably need to have your rear stays spread, which would mean spacers for the cassette (or prolly freewheel in your case) or just upgrade the whole cassette, derailleurs and shifters.
