Velocity Deep-V's

Has anyone got any experience of buying them from the ebay seller wheelandsprocket? I've worked out with VAT, Duty (at 4.7%) and ParcelForce handling, they will come to £196.

Wheelandsprocket fits hollow Joytech hubs, is it worth me paying the little bit extra and going for a build at BLB who fit solid Formula hubs for £40 extra? I'm about 100 miles away from London so there's no real benefit of me going to collect them...

Thanks.

Cavendish do them too, probably cheaper than blb

EDIT - Or build them yourself... rims £38 (ish) each, IRO hubs in many a colour £70 and then some spokes, say £25ish... endless hours of building them up... priceless ;)

Cavendish do the rims for £40 with breaking surface and £38 without.
BLB were £38 with breking surface and £35 without.
If you live 100 miles away then you will be able to find a local shop that will build the wheels for a lot cheaper than I could find in London. I shopped round and ended up with BLB! Shows the piss take London prices.

You can always haggle it down

or buy proper rims

Formula fixed/fixed hubs (SJSC permutation) £40
2 x Deep V (if you must) £72
DT Swiss Champ (based on 36 h @50p each inc. nipples) £36
Build (if you must) £20

£168

why's this extra thirty pound always creeping in?

are 32 or 36h easier to come by? resisting the urge to buy

BLB have got some awesomely deep rims atm... Way deeper than Velocitys... Was talking to Object and Flickwg about them last week at east beers... 45GN (I think) per rim... So not cheap, but apparently lighter than Velocitys...
@ Flickwg: They are about 52mm deep... Awesome... Really, really stoo-poid... 700c or 650c, machined or otherwise, 32h and 36h... I'm building a new stealth rear wheel... :D

i saw them at the weekend with shins, they are deep, and nice too.

are they only in black?

Loads of colours... Well, I saw 4... I think...

peckham pirate's rolling the black on the back on his new stealth beast.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

indeed, i hear that BLB are the only UK stockist or somethin, they look great, awesome profile. japanese?

If it's lighter than the Velocity Deep V then I'm getting those.

BellsBikeShop rock Weinemann completes cheap as chips

simple and cheap solution, not going to set the world on fire quality wise though

Them's the fellas... Truly awesome...

It's official, Velocity Deep V is dead :(

Wait until some people use these Formation Farce before dismissing the Veep D
