Whats the deal with Deep Vs?
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.

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
