It took several months of waiting, but my dynamo wheelset has finally come together. Velocity has offered their Deep V rims with a retro-reflective powder coat, that they call Halo. I emailed Velocity and asked them if they'd sell me a set of 650B rims with that same coating. They agreed to throw a couple rims into the next batch for me. They finally arrived at Riv last week, and I built them up this weekend. The idea is that for night riding I'll have yet another reflective surface. I took a few flash and no-flash photos to try to capture what they'll do. The rims are dark grey in normal light and bright white at night in headlights.

Now I have something that makes me look forward to the shorter days. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
