Fixed Pants™ Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Your Vee is fine, just needs some decent pads, have a look through tartybikes' pad category and look for any pad that's suitable for a smooth rim, if you don't intend on grinding, then get some hs33 to vee adapters and you'll be sorted.Rim wise, try all are the lightest i think, but there's nothing in it, it's a matter of 50g i think.

jandamna Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 if your looking for a budget rim, you should check the classifieds and ebay for a x-lite rim built onto a random hub, as they're very cheap but still half-decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
