Deep Vs have street cred points?

And if you're looking to spend that much, I'd spend a tad more and get something with Phil Wood hubs.

Major, the brighter the color the more points too.

I like them, about 100 dollars less than a Mavic wheelset too.

i'm 6 ft and weight 250lbs, i used to only ride with composite wheel as it gives me soild feeling til i found ellipse, they're not as soild but at least better then DP18 and B43, i have not problem riding it daily, well at least before you gets in a accident lol

Wut

Something about riding a solid feeling daily.

Dude, you know.

Ellipse are fine for street use.

They aren't the lightest.

true story i have these and they are awesome

Can I get a link to the parts? I don't know what any of them are.

This is my dude! ^

How much wil the spokes run me if I want two complete wheels?

Dude, just add 64 of them into your cart.

e-mail scrod or ask in the retro-gression thread. You will also want to know about length etc.

Just put them in your cart...

Don't waste scrod's time emailing him about something you can easily find out for yourself.
All black everything comes out to be $304.20 shipped in the US. Add about ~$45 for each wheel for build cost.

You can cut costs using silver spokes and nipples.

Spoke lengths:

279mm for 3x front and back.

I had interpreted his question as meaning that he didn't know how many spokes he needed and since we don't know what lacing pattern he wants we can't tell him how long etc. I also figured scrod could help him out with the nipples and tape and stuff. I agree that it would be stupid to ask for something through e-mail that could just be calculated on the website.

Wasn't really directed at you, my bad if it felt snappy.

Just kinda annoyed of blatant uselessness.

This riddle, however, is quite easily solved by consulting the number of holes in the hub and/or rim.

True. That's why I thought he needed additional help.

I'm just a total newb when it to wheels and parts, but I'm learning.

Yeah, everyone has to start somewhere. You can get yo' learn on a little bit here: http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html
Take some of that article with a grain of salt though. I don't really agree with everything Sheldon says about spoke count and such.

Pshhh...

Everyone is quick to assume these wheels are not street-suitable. A light rider ~ <170 lbs who doesn't ride like a jackass and who knows how to unweight themselves when hitting large bumps would probably have little trouble with those wheels. I worked with a guy who rode a set of Ellipses for a year or two and didn't complain about them coming out of true too easily. I rode a fully loaded touring bike with a 24/20 spoke set of Bontrager Race paired spoke wheels because they were all I had at the time. I only broke one alloy nipple over 1,000 miles. I even sunk my front wheel into a storm drain at one point and only gave myself a slight hop in the wheel.

Just my $.02.

That was my opinion and I'll stick to it. I'm basing MY opinion on myself, 6'1 240lbs. I do ride with a 20 spoke front, but again, I would not ride a low spoke count rear.

I don't doubt a lighter rider would be ok with a set though.

Re-read my post. I had them and hated them. YMMV.
