ok, sounds like i'll go with black phils, black deep v's, and whatever hot looking spokes i can find laying around the shop. should be good.
|
I'm a bit undecided on hubs, but I've got coming some Deep V's in white - 3 of them.
But I'm leaning toward level component hubs. Stout, nice, strong. If I could get the level hubs powder coated or anodized, it'd be nice. But if I don't I'm not gonna be upset. The extra will be come the front wheel on bludredbiatachi I ride. |
I've been riding on my dream wheels for awhile now:
Phil wood single fixed high-flange in chrome, with axles converted to quick release to allow for Kryptonite locking skewer set, laced via 14g spokes to custom powdercoated deep-v rims. Bulletproof, sexy, and pretty dang hard to steal. http://photos8.flickr.com/8472109_f6f0c9480c_b.jpg |
I'm a big fan of the aero look on the back and the traditional shallow rim on the front. I just got a phil laced to an all black deep V (just e-mail Velocity and ask for them) for the rear. 36 hole, so it'll be around with the cockroaches after WWIII. Now I'm saving for a lighter front wheel. maybe open pro or something like that. 28 hole low flange hub.

This is pretty easy. (links coming after I write this)
Dream handbuilts Hubs: white industries (ENO hub because I can use it in my road frames if I want to or I can use it with horizontal drop-outs as well). I'd like to try some high-flange designs also to get a better bracing angle and shiffer shorter spokes. Spokes: DT aero lites/Spaim cx-rays/ Wheelsmith XE14s (any of those butted oval spokes) Rims: FIR 35mm Deep V's http://www.fircerchi.com/Dati/prodotti/sc350.html or the lighter 455 gram Niobium 30mm Deep Vs http://oddsandendos.safeshopper.com/9/130.htm?553 from either speedcific or IRD. Are these not some bad ass hoops or what? (5mm deeper than Deep V's). Campagnolo Pista Rims still take the cake though at 38mm http://www.fircerchi.com/Dati/immagini/sc350.jpg |
I'd love a set of the gaansari skidstrong wheelset that they build up
