I'm pretty interested in getting a new set of Deep Vs for my bike. The question I have is can you run a brake on non-machined wheels with out screwing them up? I really like the look of the wheels…Continue

"Doing blue in a b43 isn't going to overwhelm your bike in blue anymore than it already is, if you like the blue stick with it. White or black would be nice though."

So Im in the process of buying a new wheelset. Im buying a set of Velocity B43s. Now amongst my friends and myself there has been a debate going on as to what color the wheels should be. Currently I am running a set of blue Deep Vs. I plan to keep everything on the bike the way it is, just changing the wheelset. My belief is that with a set of blue B43s, that it might be over kill on the blue. I've had a friend tell me he thought White B43s, white hubs, black spokes and black tires would look…See More

Hi Philly,

Hope your recovery has been going well. Are you back on the saddle? Just curious to learn how that new messenger bag is working out for you ( post pics =) )

I never shared with you what I ride with. I actually have three bags I switch around from time to time depending on the purpose of my riding. But my most go-to bag is the Half Mass messenger bag made by Patagonia.

It can hold quite a bit of stuff if you allow it to. The weight distribution is awesome on the lower back. There are several compartments of various capacities. A broad reflector strip runs across the flap of the bag, ideal for night time. It also has an interchangeable lefty/righty strap. An outside pocket on one end-side makes hydration accessible and the other end, a zippered pocket I like to keep my iPhone inside with music flowing through a headset. Really cool bag. I luv it!

Dido :) oh! I've got something to share on your messenger vs backpack thread. Just can't do it on my iPhone. Have you decided on one yet?

When mine is finest, I will post some pics and get rid of the cat pic. Hahaha

Sweet looking bike. Mine is currently getting powdered coated gloss white. She was pretty rough looking with lots of chipped paint and some rust, but I could still crank her to some fast speeds and blow past many roadies. I love doing that!!!! Take your Trek, Specialized, high end $3000.00 bike. I will out run you anyway.
