They look awesome can't wait to hear the reviews...
Wow, thanks for the link. Sweet looking gear. Sheesh, If I didn't have the Flows...

BTW, thank you, KP, for keeping the graphics tasteful. Some of the stuff out is downright obnoxious.

Eyelets!

Light!

Tubeless ready!

650b!

Pacenti!
Very nice!!!
The graphics are nice Kirk. Been wanting to build a new wheelset have the hubs ready to go and these are just what I want light wide and tubeless ready. Schweet!
So obviously they're made by velocity but are these meant to compete in between the blunt sl and blunt or what?

They aren't made by Velocity. They are meant to be a wide, light rim that will perform well in all conditions. Obviously given their weight, they are not intended for hard-core AM riding. I designed them for riders who like the way a wide rim performs, but aren't doing huge gaps or drops.

Cheers,

Well done. Bringing a project to market is a very tough job. Well done. Keep it up!

That kinda rider sounds like me. :thumbsup:
Kirk - who will distribute and do you have approx. price?

Thx,
So who's rolling them? Sun ?
I like the looks of these, esp. the 26 version. That's a pretty light rim - any rider weight restrictions? Thanks.
eyeleted

Hi, are these double eyeleted? wouldn't mind having that option at some pint of time along with a maybe a narrower version like 23mm width for us xc riders.

Cheers

650B spot project done!!
Does anyone other than Mavic and Rigida still roll rims with double-eyelets?
Mavic is the only one that know of, maybe DT did with their rims a while back?
Rims manufactured by Sun

After a brief convo w/ANonyMoose I must agree w/Deeight that the rims seem Sun"ish". It looks very much like a wide Equalizer. Any confirmation KP?

So who's rolling them? Sun ?
Will these rims be suited for XC riding and racing?
These look great. I've been riding P35 29er rims for a short while and I'm really impressed with what such a wide rim does for the tyres. Any plans for something like this in 35mm + ? Basically, something like a lighter P35 with a welded join.
