i don't have to have ridden them to tell you they will hold up to anything a road (at least any road i've been on) would throw at them. velocity is well known for making very study rims. notice the triple walls on the cross-section. i have beat the **** out of my deep-v's for years with no problems and these are probably even stronger. they are made for tricks and bike polo, so arguably they are made to withstand being cracked with a mallet or ball and taking flights of stairs and endless wheelies without trouble.

if you told me to take these and ride them off a 2 ft drop i wouldn't hesitate (at least about the rim), and i doubt you are going to find anything more brutal than that on the road.
