Kushan, You can get custom builds straight from Velocity for $450 straight
gauge/$480 double butted spokes with their ATB hubs(black powdercoat only
if that matters). They offer off-menu(phone is best) the Cliffhanger in
non-machined, non-polished silver.
Velocity will also make rims for you that are not listed - extra spoke
holes, polished, etc. I am overweight and like 40 and 48 spoke rims and
polished rims which they will happily do with the next batch of rims that
make. No extra cost for the non-standard spoke hole drillings, you just
need
I’m running Dyads tubeless on my new Sam. Set them up with a double wrap of
Gorilla tape. They seated about as easily as one could hope for when I set
them up. So far so good! I have the ultralight Ultradynamico 42mm tires.
Ran over some glass today and sealant started spraying all over from
I've used 700c Dyads, Atlases, and Cliffhangers on my 62 Appaloosa and 62
Sam. I'm a pretty lean fella. On the Sam I definitely preferred the Dyads,
being more of a roadish bike and having 44mm tires. But for the Appaloosa
(and my Clems for that matter) I pretty much swear by Cliffhangers now.
Kushan,
I am a very big fan of Velocity rims (A23s, Dyads, Fusions). My latest
wheelbuild used Velocity Quills (36H). I use them on a monster cross bike
and they are much more laterally stiff vs. the A23s (as Velocity so
indicates). Point and go and steering is dead-on. Tough, I've taken
I run Dyads with RH Snoqualmie Pass tires (41mm actual width) on my Sam.
Great rims unless you are planning to run tubeless. It that case I'd opt
for Velocity Quill rims.

I have a Shimano dynamo /Velocity dyad wheelset and a deore/ velocity synergy
wheelset. I really only need one, so if you’d like to work something out,
contact me off list. If you happen to be in the bay area, you’re welcome to try
either out.

Velocity are really good people & full of useful advice, sort of the
Rivendell of wheels. You can reach out to them directly for input, their
marketing guy (Ian) has been a huge help to me in the past.

I use Velocity Atlas wheels on my Sam, and they’ve been good with any tire
size I’ve tried up through 50mm. I’m 200 lbs plus, so I use 36 spokes.
They are possibly a bit of overkill for my typical 42mm tires, but they’ve
been trouble free.
My touring bike has Velocity Dyads and they run fine
I recently switched from A23's to Cliffhangers on my Toyo Atlantis. I had
similar concerns that they'd be overkill. Perhaps I'm simply experiencing
the weight savings going from tubed to tubeless, but my initial impressions
is that the Cliffhangers feel faster, hold their speed better, and are
