Specs: 32H Velocity Deep-V MTB Rims – Wood Grain w/ MSW, 32H Shimano Deore XT Hubset, Sapim Leader SS Spokes – 14ga, DT Swiss Gold Alloy Nipples
If you’re building up an authentic old school styled track bike, you might want to consider Velocity’s Wood Grain rims. They give off that kind of Six-Day racing vibe and if you’re going with a vintage steed, they could work really well. Whatever you do, stay away from mixing rims like these with an aluminum frame or you could risk the scorn of the hard core fixed gear community—combining old and new styles is borderline sacrilege and should be only be attempted with extreme social caution. |Sfgfc|
