Review: If you don’t mind a buzzy freewheel these are a great upgrade from stock wheels, and currently half price cycling VEL_Bike
At 1,620g on the road.cc scales , they are light enough to not hamper speed on the flat or the climbs, and thanks to the quick engagement of the 102-tooth/6-pawl freehub internals, acceleration from a standing start or when rolling is also brisk.
The 6066-T6 aluminium alloy rim is 28mm deep and 24.6mm wide externally, with a 21mm internal channel. This works well with tyres from 25mm to about 32mm wide, giving a rounded shape before entering the 'lightbulb' stage where the tyre looks bulbous when fitted. Vel has gone for 24 spokes front and rear, the same amount as we see on many gravel wheels, so it's safe to say that durability has been a consideration.
My local lanes, like most in the UK, are a mixture of smooth and broken tarmac, potholes and plenty of grit and gravel from the verges, so the wheels haven't had an easily life over the last six to eight weeks. The weather has turned as well, with warm summer temperatures making way for cold and wet days, just to give the hubs a bit of a workout.
