Getting Deep V's - what kind of Hubs should I get?
So this is what i know about rims... if you get deep v's you need to get it laced to a specific type of HUB right? is there anything i'm missing?

You know it's funny, when I first started riding, I knew what wheels were, not the brand of a rim with no knowledge of anything else. Seems weird that someone knows about a "deep-v" but nothing else about a wheel. Wonder what that says. No offense.
That said, Formula hubs seem to be the most popular right now and hold up well. You are also going to need spokes...

the only thing that matters is that the amount of holes on the hub matches the amount of holes in the rim. get whatever you want.

judging by your question, formulas should do you just fine. not flashy, but solid and dependable. i can't complain about mine.

My rear is goin to be laced to a Promax (suzue), and the front either to the matching promax if I can get a cheap 28h deepv, or a formula. My deepVs are white.

that being said, drill some extra holes in your deep v's, get some gold spokes and lace them to these: https://cgi.ebay.com/ALLOY-48-HOLE-BM...ayphotohosting

The number of holes on the hub should match the number of holes in the rim minus one.
