Velocity Aeros are really nice but weight just about as much as Deep Vs. If I had to pick a favorite it would be a tie between the A23 and Aerohead.

Will mineral spirits work? Lol. I don't want to waste Goo Gone. After the rinse, do I need to lube it up immediately? Or can it wait till like Friday... Amazon just shipped my stuff and won't come in till Friday. Chain tool won't come in till Friday or Saturday... or even Monday

Are the Fusion, Deep V and B43 the Velocity wheels that feature halo? In all colors? I found this announcement about halo on the Velocity USA blog. https://velocityusa.blogspot.com/2010...cing-halo.html

I was riding away from suppin SQRLs at a cross race today and decided I had cross skillz. Hopped a curb with a four inch drop, which normally is NBD cuz I'm leet as ****, but what I didn't see was that on the other side of the curb I was hopping down was a deep-ass hole. When I landed I heard a gnarly clink, and kept rolling. Upon further inspection, my bars slipped down a few degrees (I was on the horns when I hit), and I assumed that's what it was. But riding around later, whenever I hit a bump I hear a small clink coming from the front end somewhere. Headset isn't wobbling, rim is no less true than it was before, and I'm not missing any spokes. Any ideas?

As far as 700c rims go, yes - Fusion, Deep V and B43 are all available with the Halo coating. All Halo rims appear black(ish) in natural light and glow when direct light hits them.

A friend of mine recently tried to buy a pair of rims from them and couldn't get past the shopping cart. When she used the contact form on their site, she kept getting an error message. Tried to call but the phone was disconnected. She even went so far as to send them a message on facebook and never heard back. **** IRO.
