From: upstate NY (eastern side)

Bikes: giant ATX 760, Falcon Road Bike (ss) custom marinoni tourismo (full dresser) ,

I believe I would.

I purchased a set of Velocity Dyad rims through Super spokes and I have to say Im pretty happy with them.

I called velocity up front and inquired about what I wanted for a build They gave me the particulars and then I ordered the wheels from Greg at Super spokes.

Greg was super to deal with.

Im 247lb and wanted a solid build for my full dresser commute bike velocity was one of the only companies that could easily build me a touring rim for 135 spacing that had 40 hole rear 36 front.
I also could choose 130 or 135 Nice to have options.

I checked with LBS (7) and some other online shops and I was told that a 40H rear not possible unless I bought a set of tandem rims/hubs which would have been too wide. Velocity In MI can drill any thing you want for the most part.

The hubs are the Force brand which has a good following in the single speed and fixie camps, the bearings are upgraded by velocity to a sealed cartridge type .

cant complain Im a happy camper and it didnt break the bank.
