Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I have a wheelset built on Velocity Deep V.. Fusion and Velocity cliffhanger. They all have been excellent wheelsets. Biggest complaint I've heard about velocity rims is the QC, a bad rims gest out now and then where it is not true but this should be apparent before the wheelset is built up.

The razor has a machined sidewall though so that would not seem to fit what you are looking for. Only one I know off-hand to match what you want is the Alex TD17 it is a disc specific rim so there is no machined sidewall for breaking..

i have some ritchey rock 450CE rims that are all black and eyeletted. no machined sidewall. but they're on my road bike right now. and i like them a lot.

just to clarify, they are 700c road rims, not mountain bike rims.

I've got an all black Mavic disc rim on my SS. Not sure if they are still making them or how easy they are to get.

I checked the alex rims website, because I'm looking for similar - the DV15's are 26" rims and all black... just haven't been able to find any - but then, I haven't asked if anyone can special order them yet...
