at Wheelbuilder.com Bike Setup:
2009 Felt FA frame built up with Shimano Dura Ace 7800 components Summary:
These wheels are the best. After breaking spokes on several low spoke-count racing wheels, I decided it was time to get something stronger. At 6'3 and 215 lbs., I decided to go to Bikeforums.net's Clydesdale forum. Hey, if anyone could recommend a strong, reliable wheel, a Clydesdale cyclists can. After asking the question, the responses were staggering. Easily 6 out of 10 of these big riders answered Velocity Deep Vs. I put in my order through Wheelbuilder.com and I had them within 10 days. These wheels are downright gorgeous. They even have the builder's initials and date that build was completed on a sticker inside the rim. How do they ride? Excellent! They are stiff but I hit rough patches without even a worry. It's been 15 months (7,800 miles) and these wheels haven't even needed to be trued yet. These wheels are that strong. I also noticed that several tri bikes and fixed gear bikes are running Deep Vs. If you're looking for super strong wheels, the wheels, the Deep Vs are for you. Strengths:
Strong, reasonably priced, good looking, Weaknesses:
a bit heavier than what I'm used to- then again; they are stronger than any wheel that I've ever ridden on as well. Similar Products Used:
Mavic Ksyrium Elites and SLs, Neuvation M28 Aeros,

at SpinLite Cycling Favorite Ride:
anything smooth and fast Bike Setup:
'95 Klein Quantum, Dura Ace drivetrain except for stock Klein pressed-in bottom bracket, Michelin Krylion Carbon tires Summary:
I've got about 2K miles on my Deep V's, and I love them. They've held up well under my 235 lbs. and are still dead true, even after a high speed RR crossing that flatted both tires(Michelin Carbons at 125 PSI, no less) and dented the bead portion of both rims on one side (straightened out nicely, too!). Mine are 28 spoke front and rear. They roll fast and true, and look great after removing the too-large-for-my-taste stickers. Strengths:
I seriously doubt you could get a stronger, faster wheelset for $300. Weaknesses:
Big ugly stickers Similar Products Used:
Gipiemme T Tre 30S that came with my used Klein--started breaking spokes on rear the first week I rode them
