But listen to what your wheelbuilder recommends.
I have unfortunately found Velocity rims to not be very hard wearing.... After burning through a rim each winter (excessive wear on the braking surface) I'm not going to purchase any more deep V's... I actually had one disintegrate on me! I was on a trainer at the time so I did not get hurt when it broke, but its not a chance I care to take again.
