700c flip flop

After a lot of time and research, I have decided I to go with a 700c wheel set with a flip flop hub. It is apparent there are quite a bit of tire options out there that aren't readily, or easily available on the 27. The area I live in has some crap streets and varied road conditions, be it a bicycle path, or what ever amount of road you can roll on with out being smashed by a truck or sports car. I found a nice Mavis wheel set on Harris cycle, similar and cheaper would be nice, however this is the best deal I could find.

You can get the Mavic CXP22 rims laced to Formula hubs for $125 at velomine. As I noted in your other thread, remember to request to have the rear respaced to fit your frame.

If I remember correctly, however you were looking to run wide tires in your other thread. I love CXP-22s, but in my opinion they kinda start to suck as you go up in tire width above 28mm.

I'd get Sun CR-18 for running wide tires. Velomine has these for $115, but the description doesn't say Flip Flop, though. Might wanna contact Velomine and check on that.

The IRO Cycles shop is back up again and their wheels are top notch. Unbadged Velocity Fusion rims* laced 3x to rebranded Fusion high-flange hubs. I've been beating the snot out of a pair on my monstercross bike all season, as well as a second pair on my commuter. No problems with either pair; the CX pair was built by IRO, the commuter pair built by me.

Remember - if a description doesn't say flip-flop, you can always run a freewheel on a fixed thread without problems, but not the other way around.

*To the best of my knowledge, IRO Cold Fusion rims are unbadged Velocity Fusions. Other people have said they are a comparable model of Kinlin rim. Either way, they're decent rims that hold up well to abuse.
