Track/Fixed Wheelset that's not Velocity or H+
Sup peeps. I was wondering what your guys' thoughts are for alternatives to Deep-V, B43, and Formation Face? And by that, I mean rims in that price range and also as/nearly as deep.
Some I've read on these forums: Dodici, Campy rims, Mavic Ellipse.

Why exactly do you want to avoid Velocity and H+Son? If it's just because of the name on the rim I recommend peeling off the Velocity sticker and calling it good.

or buy a rim, buy a fixed/fixed or fixed/hub and have your own wheelset built
I'm having a pair of these build onto some IRO hubs I picked up last year.

I have always liked the look of the Sun CR18's. I think they look really classy. What do you think a guy would be into those after its all said and done, a couple hundred bucks?

B43 is probably your most affordable deep section rim dude. You should reconsider.
