hit me with some Pros and Cons of each.
Cheers. 
Deep V Pros
-Durable
-Heavy, but not excessively
-Proven design
-Machined/unmachined braking surface
B43 Pros
-Deep section rim
-Aesthetics, looks good
-No braking surface?
B43 Cons
-Very HEAVY!
-Overkill for most riding needs
deep v weighs 582
B43 weighs 730
you can’t get B43 in MSW
deep v’s can’t handle the vertical abuse B43’s could.
IMHO if you are just riding around and you don’t trick huge or aren’t a massive weight weeny it’ll come down to aesthetics-like always.
would B43’s be not as fast as deep v’s?
Lighter wheels are generally faster wheels.
The deeper B43 rim profile would have better aerodynamic qualities than the Deep V, but this would probably be cancelled out by 32 spokes.
Niether rims will be especially zippy wheels unless you opt for a lower spoke count like a 24H front, 28H rear. I don’t think B43 rims come in many different drillings.
Put it this way, you’re not going to see a B43 wheelset in a road race!
Actually I just read on the Velocity website that they do offer 24 and 28H drillings, so potentially you could create a not-stupidly heavy wheelset… 
Would heavier wheels significantly reduce the speed of the bike? And how does the weight effect hill climbing?
Yes.
Of all the changes you can make to a bike, the wheels have a significant effect on the feel and speed.
Thanks. But it sorta sucks cos i just got a set of B43’s and i dont care too much about looks.
So what’s the point of the thread? I mean, it’s a bit late now right?
hopefully you only paid 310-320 from the states thus making it easier for you to resell, rather than having paid ‘local’ prices of $400+
just sayin.
Just out of curiosity i guess. but i will live. If anyone can cheer me up with some more benefits of B43’s, be my guest.
So why’d you buy B43s? I’m not having a go, I’m curious. Seems to me like people generally buy them for looks.
fuck, dude, can’t you figure anything out for yourself? i mean, i don’t mean to be harsh or anything, but come on!
+1
ride 'em, work it out for yourself.
And considering the OP already has a set of B43’s, JUST RIDE UP A BLOODY HILL AND TELL US HOW THEY PERFORM! :mrgreen:
Well It shares its name with a Nuclear Bomb.
If you Cut it in half you could probably keep your weed in it.
You could wear one around your neck like Flava Flav did with his clocks.
If you keep buying more of them under the same buying principle im sure you will start to love them and maybe you could wear one as a hat.
So much fail.
So. Much. Fail.
well, at least someone got to bump up their post count…
is bells bike shop on ebay the cheapest for b43’s?
