maidenfan, aren't you running Velocity Deep V's or was that someone else?

My commuter/cross wheelbuild is Velocity DeepV, on Chris King Classic's DT Swiss w/brass nipples. Ride the hell out of them never had a problem. They are a little heavier, but they are very strong. I would say the only setback would be that you have to service the CK rear hub a little more frequently.
