Mirrored Velocity Deep V wheelset
 

Finally, Lynn has sent me a picture of a custom ordered wheelset he produced.

Blind your oponents away!

"Phil Wood Kiss-Off Single Speed disc hubs laced to Deep-V MTB with Sapim
Laser spokes. I have stock to provide polished rims in Deep-V 700C 32H &
36H, Deep-V MTB 36H, Fusion, and Aeroheads. These are not bright
anodised, they are true mirror polish aluminum."

I think Lynn said he spent a good 3 hours labour to achieve this result.

Ooooh.... Sparkly!

I'm lucky that I don't have a bike that needs a wheelset like that anymore. And that I don't have those rims, because I'd have to build a bike around them ;)

Woah. *bling*

I like.

So how long does this polishing last?

Is it like toeclips and hearts?

nice, reminds me of bmx lowriders

My heart is clipless. Never breaks and with the right amount of love won't disengage.

Is it really to blind the oponents, or an easier way of checking out your helmet hair after a ride?

Kuddos on the workmanship.

Could you post the process to polish? I see a project in my future.

i pick up mine today, got a set of deep v's polished last week-

both of those sets look totally awesome. riding on those forces all onlookers to put on their sunglasses, which makes them even more awesome.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you do the home polishing method, won't the shine only last for little while because the aluminum oxidizes? Do you clearcoat or "clear-anodize" (if there is such a thing) after the polishing?

how can i get a set like this? someone start making these!

we'll have to see how they hold up, they didn't advise the use of clear coating for this application and polishing is what they do, so i'm taking the chance that they know their stuff...

for those diy'ers

they did tell me that the silver finished ones have some type of finish applied to them and had to be stripped off prior to polishing, if you want to do it right.

ok enough already time to go get my wheels :D

Nice work! Now , if we could just do away with that pesky ridge of a braking surface.......................................I would love to see a set of polished deep v's with a graceful, rounded curve.

+1

like a bell curve profile?

like a parabola

convex or concave?

A lot of concours car guys that have raw polished wheels will use vasoline to keep things shiny. Makes them easy to clean, too.

Interetsing! I guess might friend might have telling the truth after all when I found that tube in his glove compartent ;)

i wonder if you could get these wheels chrome plated? then you wouldn't have to deal with keeping them clean... just wipe them down...

haha, i thought this read so that you found the tube in his glove... glove of vaseline is way gross!

You ever read "of mice and men"?

The "bad guy" in it actually wears a vaseline filled glove.

oh man! i knew it came from somewhere. good call!!

but still, if you use the dirty section of the brain, its pretty gross...
