    I have the opportunity to buy some new Dura Ace hubs at a good price but they have odd spoke counts - 18 and 28! Velocity rims were recommened to me and do nice rims that would work. Has anyone ever sourced them and from where?

    They are good quality, used to be made in Australia but now based in USA. Probably the largest range of colours available too as they are popular with fixed gear enthusiasts who like to customise with colours.
    18h front would need a high profile rim, preferably above 50mm. Closest is velocity b43 which is very heavy. Deep V is 30mm and a good all rounder, strong,stiff but not exactly lightweight. Bikemailorder.de blb bikes and tokyofixedgear. Also I think On Track in Dublin can order them.

    Great - thanks for the reply!
    I thought the Fusion rim should work? Is there any reason why it wouldn't?
