Velocity rims are the first choice of cycle messengers around the world, who can deal out more abuse on a rim in week than most of us can in a year. Because of this reputation Velocity has become synonomous with rims of toughness and durability for all disciplines of cycling. Velocity designed a full range of profiles for rims for track, road, touring, MTB, BMX, and recumbents.
The rims listed here are the rims that CTA stocks in a large range of colors and drillings. So if you do not see the rim listed that you need, contact us.
The Deep-V is a virtually indestuctible deep section V-profile rim that has earned its reputation on the toughest streets in the world being abused by couriers. This is an extremely rigid rim which contributes to its durability but also can produce a very harsh riding wheel depending lacing pattern and spoke count. The Deep-V works well with tires up to 28mm wide. Available in 700c, 650c and 26" and other sizes by custom order.
This rim is stocked in 700C in 28H, 32H, 36H in most colors with machined sidewalls. Other drillings, colors and sizes available on request.
The Fusion is a tough and durable rim that is great compromise between the Deep-V and Aerohead. The 25mm deep section V-profile gives the rim good rigidity but remain much more compliant than the Deep-V producing a more pleasant riding wheel. The Fusion works well with tires up to 28mm wide. Available in 700c, 650c, 26", and 20" and other sizes by custom order.

The Aerohead is a lightweight racing and road rim that is ideal for tires from 20mm to 28mm. While the Aerohead builds a plush riding wheel, it will not handle the abuse of the Deep-V or Fusion. The Aerohead is also available as in an assymetric profile, the Aerohead OC. With an offset V-profile, this rim allows more even spoke tension and in some cases allows the wheel to be built with zero dish even when using a 10spd rear hub. Available in 700c, 650c and other sizes by custom order.
