Rim type for IRO house wheelset
 
I bought one of the IRO wheelsets a couple of months ago when he was having the 25% off sale. I didn't go for the deep-Vs... just the house wheelset.

Anyway, the quality is excellent... I'm glad I went for this wheelset over the obligatory Deep-Vs. It just bugs me that I have no idea who manufactured the rims. Does anybody have any idea?

Welcome to the industrial age.

Velocity Aeroheads

kinlin?

They're definitely not aeroheads. The braking surfaces are machined, the profile seems a bit higher, and they're highly polished. Honestly, they look a ton better than aeroheads do.

I haven't heard of Kinlin. Is that an overseas OEM?

They're Velocity Fusion rims.
not as deep as deep vs, but deeper than aeroheads.

used to be aeroheads, what i heard is that he went with a rim that is pretty much identical but cheaper.

hmm, i am getting a Mark V pro. actually, its sitting in Maryland till I can get up there next month and bring it back to Mexico with me.
The specs say it comes with "IRO fxed gear wheels", are these the nice wheels everyone talks about??
