Wheels again today (and so on).
I built the front wheel to match the rear wheel from the other day
using a Velocity A23 rim.
HB-7600-F 36H
Fully Campagnolo 8×8 Italian lacing.
The A23 rim seems to be Velocity's best-selling model
and comes in various specifications.
This rim is a 700C non-offset design, but there are also
650B and 24-inch and
26-inch options (HE ETRTO 559mm MTB 26-inch) and
650C (WO ETRTO 571mm road 26-inch), and the 650B and 700C come in offset rim versions as well.
The rim sidewalls have machined braking zones with drilling,
meaning there are both models with the flat-cut brake zone surface
and disc brake versions without it.
The ones with brake zones come in 20H through 36H,
and the ones without start at 24H
(with some exceptions like the 650B offset rim
only coming in 32H and 36H),
and the 700C non-offset rim like this one
also comes in 18H.
The claimed weight varies depending on rim diameter and offset specification,
but for the 700C non-offset it's 450g.
However, this rim came in considerably lighter than the claimed weight.
The surface finish is silver anodize, but there are also
black anodize, white powder coat finish,
polished finish,
mill finish (as-molded condition),
and custom anodize colors (gray, gold, olive, turquoise,
blue, purple, pink, red, tangerine, and lime green).
According to the pricing on the official site,
white powder coat and polished are $50,
custom colors are $40 additional,
and it notes that the white powder coat adds about 30g to the weight.
As for the actual measured weight of this rim, I did weigh it
but I'm not telling.
↑wow this guy's got bad manners
Sorry for the wait! Please take a look at this image!
I went ahead and used the lighter one for the rear wheel!
↑No don't do that!
