Hai guyz.

I'm gonna go pick up a pista concept later today, and plan to order a new wheelset to go with it. Sadly the only real thing that comes to mind is the Deep-V. I like the deep look of them but for one, everyone has them, and they sort of do make the concept look like a toy.

What else is out there in terms of quality, strong, good looking black rims?

Right now I have some shatty salsa delgado wheels, machined, but they are old and tired and I'd like to do this concept up proper.

expensive, but unique, gipiemme tecno:

mavic ellipse.



not the lightest, but lighter than deep v, smooth hubs, bladed spokes and strong. i don't crit race and am not 200 pounds, so i cant speak in the way of stiff or not. they come with a mavic lockring, which works perfectly with eai cogs.

i hope you arent getting that gray concept from queens @_@

Does that mean it'll have a top tube pad along with a top tube brake lever held on with velcro?

Non machined black Aeroheads.

Any hard anodized box rim.

Ellipses.

Any of those would be sweet.

+1 for ellipses. Although "everyone" has those too. And "everyone" has pista concepts.

dddave

+1, these are what i've got.

filtersweep

Vintage Wobler tubulars--- unmachined.

jitensha!

velocity aeros + whatever hub you like.

whalesalad

nope haha, but one of lyan's friends has a 53cm 2005.

ellipses have gone up in price a lot in the last two years, even second hand

Metricoclock

so much hate on the deep v's

a wheels a wheel, a bikes a bike.

f-it if you think everyone has them, do what you want, you are putting it on a concept....so yeah, thats like the honda civic with the twin turbo's that every kid wanted in high school anyways in bling factor alone, but just in bike form.

+1 for ellipses because that's where my next paycheck is headed ...

neverjared

But Deep Vs come in colors like orange!!!

lymbzero

Wow those ellipses look sweet..
But I'm for the box section rim. Ambrosio FTW

But then again on a Pista Concept you might want to go with something "cooler".
Bladed and Aero.. I've got no suggestions.
But I thought about getting the velocity aero heads.
They seem nicer compared to the deep-v's.

sweet! cause the primer gray POS needs to DIAF

shredsled87

The Velocity Aero's come in different colors, and they aren't deep v's. I heard Benscycle has them, but they aren't on the site.

tpmann

what about velocity fusions, much less deep than the deep vs, but still have a bit of a profile..i like mine

andre nickatina

Fusions are fine. I still ride my front Fusion, my rear died 6 months after being hit by a car which left zero damage to the bike but put my wheel out of true by 5 or 6mm or so.
