Default Velocity Blade Wheelset

Where can I find retailer selling this wheel. Wondering about its price. Or there is a better wheelset for the price?

Hmmm, where have you heard about these? They don't seem to be on the current website, US or Aus

http://www.velocitywheels.com/default.asp?contentID=537

Velocity make pretty good, strong and reliable rims, so I guess it comes down to the spokes, quality of their hubs, and overall price

Often the Velocity wheels are made by the LBS. Go to your LBS and ask them, they should be able to build you a similar wheel.

Gday,George! Been long time not visiting this site. I'm getting back to bike again after stop since last October.

I know about velocity Blade from BobOCR (here is the thread)

I've asked Runners World about Velocity wheel, but they have to make a special order for it.
Is your wheel the Blade ones?

How much the cost for each wheel?

My four wheels came from various sources, two from the tri wa page for $20 and $40, two new ones I ordered from Runners World for about $400, they took just over a week from the factory in Qld. All four have the Deep V rim.
