Hello,

I am considering rebuilding a set of wheels that had Alex 20/24 hole
rims. They went about 5K miles before the spokes started to pull
thorough the rims.

I am considering using these hubs and Velocity Aerohead and Aerohead
O/C rims but am wondering about the durability because of my previous
experience with the Alex rims.

I currently have a set of these Velocity rims but in 32 hole
configuration that have been flawless for the past 10K miles.

BTW, I only weigh about 160 pounds.

Thanks,

Steve

Why not the velocity A23 on the front? *It weighs 1 gram more. But

"New for 2010! *The A23 rim is based off our proven Aerohead race
rim. *With a wider footprint, the A23 allows for a more aerodynamic
rim/tire combination when paired with a 23c tire. *The tire profile
mimics the characteristics of a tubular, gaining increased control and
lower rolling resistance.."

Did they beef up the Aerohead -- it shows on the website as 425g, but
I remember it at closer to 400g. Peter White has it at 405g.http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/velocity.asp

I think my next set of commuter/snow wheels will be the Synergy and
Synergy OC. *-- Jay Beattie.

Fulcrum Racing series are fairly well regarded and from casual
observation and feedback from cycle shop employees, appear to be quite
robust and light.
