Hi all,

Looking to invest in a wheelset for my first fixed gear.
I've got a "vision" in my head for the bike, and it involves yellow rims and so I thought I'd ask for your opinion on these wheels/tires/cog for my first fixie.

Your thoughts are valued and appreciated - Cheers!

Not sure about the price but I can tell you they're cheap and most certainly heavy. Seems like the Chinese generic kind that comes with retrospec fixies that come in the colors of the rainbow.... I would hit up velomine or wabi for a set that gives the best bang for the buck.

Find something similar here and it will almost certainly be better and at a similar price.

Not worth the price. Looks cool for sure but not great quality.

Plus, you should get a wheelset with a machined braking surface for the front wheel, at least.

You will be happier if you get a lighter rim, I promise you. Your vision should be more about function than form. Also it's not 2006 anymore

I saw a Chinese food delivery man rocking the gold deepV rims the other day. Thats a sign from the all-mighty gods of fixed geardom that classier (non-day glo) setups are the only way to go for maximum street cred-ness

Hey guys - really appreciate the feedback.
Prevented me from buying some shotty wheels!

Cheers!

OP actually listened to the feedback instead of complaining that we were thickheaded! How pleasantly surprising.

That kid's alright.

Wait a minute, was the food Chinese? Or the guy?

Or both.
