Here's a pair of wheels I just finished for a friend of ours at Saris Cycling group, makers of the impressive PowerTap hub. He requested Marwi's "Ti-Dye" Titanium spokes, which sure do have some bling when laced to Velocity Fusion rims in gold!

Wheelchair Project
I officially suck at blogging, but here's a custom project we just completed to keep the blog alive. It's 8, count 'em, 8 wheelchair wheels. They're built to take the abuse of playing basketball and other sports where the chairs can take a beating.
The rims are Velocity Deep-V MTB's, laced to Cronometro's very own hourglass wheelchair hub using direct pull Wheelsmith spokes. Also included are Velocity Veloplugs instead of rim tape to cover the spoke holes. The Veloplugs are lighter, can withstand up to 400psi and make tire mounting easier because they take up less space on the rim than traditional rim tape.
Dreaming of custom wheels? We would be happy to work with you on the project. We can create anything from the lightest carbon race wheelset to extremely durable wheels for touring, mountain, cyclocross or BMX bikes.
