It’s strong, durable and makes the ideal single track, city riding, loaded touring, tandem, and recumbent wheel…the Aeroheat can handle it all without weighing you down.

Strengths:
Strong wheels for clydesdale riding. Pick any color you want. Stay true for a long time even with a heavy rider plus cargo. No nipples required so it's a fairly inexpensive setup.
Weaknesses:
Braking surface developed a less-than-a-dime size area of pits in one location which has resulted in brake noise. But the beauty of the thing: I'm just going to clean the wheels and keep running them as is, I think they'll be just fine.
Similar Products Used:
Alex entry level, Araya 27" wheelset, old Mavic wheelset
Bike Setup:
early 90's Stumpjumper cro-mo, XT hubs, DT Swiss 14g spokes, single speed with a Singulator, balloon semi-slick tires
Bottom Line:
I commute on this bike a few miles to work most days, have ridden some single track with it, like to ride around the city. These are your standard rims that will be there for you like your best wingman. I weigh 250 pounds and always use a cargo pannier on the rear rack, with five pound lock and various junk. In the last six months of constant use even in the rain, these rims have needed to be re-trued once. They are bombproof...but keep in mind I had these hand trued at a local pro shop and that makes a huge difference.
Are they smooth? I guess. My bike is full rigid and I can still take minor drops and not hurt too bad afterward. Bumps aren't too bad with tires at 60psi. With XT hubs, this bike rolls fast and I wouldn't say the rim weight is an issue.
After six months, the braking surface on one side has a spot where it pitted. Not sure if it's from rocks or from parking the bike. It makes the brake pads squeal. I guess if I have to replace the rim I'll get another Aeroheat in another crazy color and beat the living crap out of that one too.

When you ride the last thing you want is part failure. All the gear I put on my bike I don't want to think about when I'm riding. This rim does the trick! I feel zero flex and I weigh 210lbs! Mine are anodized black and non-machined in the sides. They look great! Another thing to consider is that many other rims do not have to option for a 36h lace-up.

Strengths:
These rims have exceeded my expectations, especially at 440grams. I have always bought Mavic rims but was tired of cracks developing around the eyelets especially on the 517s. I am 230lbs and use these for loaded touring and they have remained true. A couple of spokes have loosened up but even then, the rim barely came out of true. I didn't notice the loose spokes until I felt them. Not as a result of rim rubbing against brake.
Don't be concerned about the lack of eyelets. According to Velocity, the rim is thicker at the spoke so eyelets are not needed. It's more of an issue if you are a builder.
Weaknesses:
None.
Well actually, Velocity does a poor job in the sticker department. They look cheap and are not on straight. Does it matter? Only to the person who is in a shop comparing two rims and buys the other because it's prettier.

Bottom Line:
I am rating the 29 er (700C) version which is the Velocity Dyad. It's the same exact extrusion but made to 700c. It is meant as a touring 700C rim but is plenty wide at 24 mm to be used as a 29er mountain bike rim. A fellow 29er rider and I discovered this rim while in search of a stong rim that doesn't carry a heavy weigh penalty. The Dyad has proven to be the best rim we have found. We ride on Southern Nevada's rocky trails and we both weigh well over 200 lbs.
These rims have held up very well under the Singlespeed (hardtail) loads over rocky Las Vegas trails. If you want a good reliable, strong, stiff and relatively light rim, the Velocity Dyad (AeroHeat) is a good choice.

Bottom Line:
I previously reviewed this rim in 2000 under the name Otts. Anyway, these rims are now on my second tier bike, a steel hardtail, which I ride quite a bit, in winter, to commute, and on trails (though less frequently than my disc equipped Full suspension). Anyway, these rims have lasted! They stay true, and the braking surfaces are hardly worn. The rear rim (not a velocity) is going to need replacement due to brake surface wear. Anyway, I've ordered another Velocity Aero Heat to replace a Ritchey Girder Rim for my FS. Same ERD! The ritchey is oversize I think, cause I can barely install or remove tires (same that I can install by hand on the velocity). I hope current production is of the same quality as the one I picked up 6 years ago. If so, I can really recommend these rims.

Bottom Line:
Just look at the cross-section of these rims. Why build a rim with any other profile than this? I plan on buying a lifetime supply of these. Yes, that means one pair. I will build them into a disc-brake wheel set, so the little issue of braking surface width will be NA. Also, It won't rub the collor off. It has been more than three years and my rim is just now a little out of true. I had Nashbar build it up in a 3 cross pattern (wanted radial but one year waranty only covered traditional style) on an XT hub, with brass nipples. By the way, they were 14 guage spokes (I weigh 220#) How long ago was that? Well it definitely was before disc brake hubs. It is sad to think that when I build up a new disc set the old velocity will gather dust. Five steaming horse flops for value because even at $45 it was well worth it. AT $25 you need to stock up. There are pits where rocks have chipped and gouged the metal but the rim stayed perfectly true. Five steamers overal 'cause I can't give 'em six.

Bottom Line:
The sidewalls on the Sun's were getting thin, and after 5 years, I was ready for something wider. I picked Aeroheats for their strong reviews and price, and am very happy. I built them onto XTR hubs, 2x front, 3x rear, with Wheelsmith XL14 spokes and alloy nipples. No real weights, but definitely light. No problems with the alloy nips and lack of eyelets, either, though I used plenty of grease. Time will tell. The brake track could be bigger, a la the Mustangs, but it's wide enough for my Avids. Tires mount easily, and the wider profile lets the tires spread out a bit more, which I like. These are my race wheels this year, so I'll report back in the fall with a durability update. I trust my building skills, though, so hopefully these will go another 5 years.

They're light ,450 grams, but I kept getting weird creaks form the rear and spokes started to go. I looked at the rim and saw the seam on the rim had cracked open. This was after 1 Year of mixed use. This rim might be OK for light XC use, but anything too heavy and I wouldn't trust it. Also seemed to cause a lot of pinchflats, possibly due to the narrow width, and the rim seemed fairly soft judging by all the dents in it.

Bottom Line:
I built this rim into a front wheel using 15 gauge spokes. I was worried about the strength of a wheel built with 15g spokes, and a single cavity rim. After thrashing this rim for a summer they pass my test for durability. The wheel didn't need truing once. Just a little spoke titening after the first couple weeks of riding (my fault as the builder I guess). I landing some scary jumps... My foot came unlatched from my SPD pedals and I landed hard, weight forward. I barely stayed up right. The wheel took it all without a burble. They are tough no nonsense rims.
I bought mine for $22 (5 chilis) from Nashbar's markdown priced merchandise and that was an awsome deal! The normal price of $45 seems a bit excessive (3 chilis), especially since they don't have eyelets. So I give them only 4 chillis for value. Overall they deserve all 5 chilis since their durability is the mark of an awsome product. I hate walking my bike... especially when I can ride out so far from civilization.

The braking surface is smallish but there is plenty of room for V-brakes. Besides looking much cooler than anything less than a crossmax. . . FOR LESS! and not everyone has them on the trail so they generate lots of long stares and complements by people who obviously spent more. Nashbar has em, and they seem to be the only one.
