Vuelta Wheels?
https://www.vueltausa.com/vuelta-bicy...elset-330.html
Just ran into these as I was shopping around. For 150 bucks with free shipping it seems hard to beat. And they are lighter than deep v's too. Any reason why not?

I would bet the cost of the wheelset, that they're heavier, regardless of what you've been told.
If you're getting them because they're lighter, I'd look elsewhere.

I had a set of those when I first started riding fixed and they were MEH at most. After 2-3 months the cheapo quando hub was shot and the wheelset was unusable. Don't Deep V's to formulas cost like 20 bucks more? When I first started riding I also had a problem with compromising for cheaper parts when all I had to do to get something better was wait a few weeks for the next pay check. I hate seeing new riders go through the same thing.

Well Nagrom_ you win
, velomine had a sale on the exact Deep V's I wanted (https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1349) and I couldn't beat that price. Now time to go get some cash for my current wheels. Thanks for all the input.
