I'm building a singlespeed to ride on bikepaths/around the neighborhood with the family. I have most all the parts and frame, but I'm trying to decide on the wheelset. I see a lot of "Deep Dish" singlespeed wheelsets online for aorund $150, but I can't see these being all that light or all that quality.

While I don't want junk or to break the bank, I also don't mind spending a few bucks for something of quality. Does something off-the-shelf exist in that range, or am I better off having something custom made? I'm fine with that, but I'm hoping someone has a decent lead on someone.

Frameset is the typical SS 100mm front/120mm rear dropout.

I did a search, but didn't find anything recent. Thanks.

Velomine is the best place to source a wheel set

spend less get moar

Got to say that is a pretty solid combo. I run the similar CR-18 machine laced to Formulas and they have been great on my commuter and are still good and true.

Velomine, pick sealed bearing hub for less maintenance

More than several hundred grams less and not a lot out of your price range........

I have these.


Mine are black, I like them.

Scrod tensions and trues all the machine built rims before they are shipped. I could find no fault with the set I have.

Thanks for the input. $120 for a set of wheels is very decent. I was budgeting for more but certainly would not argue against spending less.

Not bad at all. I wanted to stay under 2000g for the wheelset and those would certainly do that.
