He is right, B43 is supposedly overkill. But its your choice
i’ve just bought a near new set of b43’s and am already thinkin that they’re not going to be what i want for the new build!!! thinkin something a bit more traditional/minimal/lightweight.
i mean, i need a frame first but think i’ll get rid of them when the time comes to finish the build…
being indecisive sux!!
i have a b43 on the front and a deep v on the back, simply because i couldn’t affford a back b43, goes pretty good, no problems yet. looks a bit weird… meh who cares.
i hear that if you run a b43 on the front it’s more aerodynamic than running it on the back.
If it were, the benefits would be so minor. Anyway, the weight of it would counter-act any aerodynamic benefits.
i hear that if you run B43s front and back it makes your dick look up to three inches bigger.
Fixed that for you
…True story
that’s why i bought mine mate, didn’t work out that way…
probably why i’ll get rid of them eventually! haha
hahaahahhahahahahhahaahah
oh and yea, you need some self reassurance, it’s cool Dw about it
B43’s are the Ed Hardy of Fixed Gear apparently.
(BTW I have one. Shameful I know)
Especially if you have one of those ones with images on it.
Yeah that’s right, a B43 weighs more on the front then it does on the back. True story.
Yep, because that’s exactly what I said…
B43 is a shit wheel- excessively heavy, no braking surface, poor build quality. The rim profile is shit too.
A B43 would only work if you built it up with 20 or 24H hubs & spokes as a means of bringing the weight down, but I don’t think they come in low spoke count drillings.
Deep V is a MUCH more sensible choice.
EDIT
The Velocity website says they can be ordered with 24H so it’s possible I guess…
Lightweight still wouldn’t solve the problem.
True.
The front weight might go from 1100grams to 1000grams…
Velocity rims in general are horrible anyway.
