I've had impressive results with Velocity rims--both on the bike and with their warranty service.

I was hit by a car last April--hard enough to bend a CroMoly fork. My Velocity Aerohead front wheel went only slightly out-of-true--still spun through the brakes. We got a new one anyway because it was scratched, but I'm certain the crashed one was still road-worthy.

The new wheelset for my commuting rig uses the Velocity VXC hoop. There was a defect in one hoop. My ex-LBS built the wheels and sold them to me anyway, hoping I wouldn't notice. After much screwing around trying to get my ex-LBS to make it right, I contacted Velocity. They were pissed! They had me send both wheels to them for complete rebuilding with everything new except my hubs. The even paid the UPS in both directions. Mind you, by the terms of their warranty, they were on the hook only for one replacement hoop--no spokes, nipples or labor.

So based on my experience with both the product and the company's attitude, I recommend either the Blunt or the VXC in your application.

DT Comps will be just fine.

BTW, I'm having really good experience with Avid G3 rotors too. The cost is eye-popping, but they seem much more durable.

My old wheelsets used Avid Roundagons on one, and Delta stainless on the other. Both sets of rotors never stayed true in daily commuting and routine bike rack abuse. They also seemed to be sensitive to temperature. I'd true them indoors, then halfway to work on a below-freezing day, they'd be rubbing again. Back inside, they were okay again. Very frustrating.

I haven't had to touch the G3s since installation four months ago. The G3s have 12 "spokes" instead of the usual six, so maybe that's it, or maybe that's the difference between a $15 rotor and a $45 one.
