Velocity Deep-V Rim

The 30mm depth provides a noticeable aerodynamic advantage over standard box-section rims, helping you maintain speed more efficiently. It also adds significant stiffness to the wheel build, which improves power transfer when you are climbing or sprinting.

The Deep-V model described here features non-machined sidewalls, which are designed specifically for disc brake setups. If you are using rim brakes, you will need to source a version with a machined braking surface to ensure safe and consistent stopping power.

The 19mm width is a classic standard that works best with road tires ranging from 23mm to 32mm wide. While you can fit slightly wider tires, this rim is optimized for narrower, high-pressure road setups rather than wide gravel or mountain bike tires.

At 520g, these are not ultra-lightweight climbing rims, but they are incredibly durable and stiff. They are best suited for riders who prioritize longevity, reliability, and aerodynamic performance over shaving every possible gram for steep ascents.

Choose 28h if you are a lighter rider or looking to save a bit of weight for road riding. Opt for 32h if you are a heavier rider, carry heavy loads, or frequently ride on rougher roads, as the extra spokes provide increased wheel strength and stability.
