I want to add another 'speed' to my bike so I am researching the new 2 speed kickback hub from SA.
I am not to familiar with any post-1985 technology so might someone explain to me the benefit of a deep-V rim? Looks kind of heavy. Are they stronger or is it an aerodynamic thing? Shorter spokes seem to be a better idea, but all that aluminum, yikes !
I am considering one of the two below because most other 2speed pre-builts seem to have less-than-desirable Weinmanns. I have had good luck with my Alex rims and they will be going to another project. I guess my question is if the deep V's are in fact more bullet-proof for daily commuter abuse. Where I live the roads are like MTB trails in some places, so any wheel set that costs twice what my bike did, I sort of want to hold up for a while
And to finish up this ponderousity, does anyone have an opinion on www.coasties.com ?

Below is an image of the rims in question. "Super" Deep V's according to the link that I cant get to work correctly.
