Re: Non-Machined Colored Deep Vs

So does anyone (Yojimbo's?) have on-hand two (2) 32H non-machined electric blue Deep Vs? Velocity USA says they won't be available for another 60 days, but I'd rather build up my sherrif star hubs asap.

Called Yojimbo's this afternoon and they don't have the electric blue 32H non machined in stock. Guess I'll be waiting a couple months until the new stock is fresh off the boat.

Ok, I have been curious, what is a Non-Machined rim and why is it better than a Machined one?

If you run brakes that apply at the rim you need them machined. If you are running no brakes, coaster, or disc then either are fine. Non machined is an asethetic thing when you have a choice.
