Founded way back in 1989, Velocity USA is a performance aluminium rim manufacturer from Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.

Its mission is to “provide wheels, rims, and accessories that allow you to enjoy your bicycle to its fullest extent.  That means providing incredibly durable yet performance-oriented equipment that can be customised to your tastes and desires”.

I love them because of their ability to offer deep custom options, their awesome quality and the fact they’re a great bunch to deal with. Velocity is employee-owned, super nimble and offers unmatched flexibility.

Whilst I’ll offer every rim in the Velocity USA range, I’ll focus on their high-end and tubeless offerings. They are high-performance, beautifully made and have options for almost every cyclist.

A quick run down includes:

  • The Aileron: 28mm deep, 20mm internal width; a modern do it all road disk rim
  • The Blunt SS: A superlative XC or gravel-ready lightweight racing rim
  • The Blunt 35: a 30mm internal Trail Rim for MTB or super wide adventure shenanigans
  • The Cliffhanger: My personal favourite. A 25mm internal, super tough yet light tubeless ready touring rim. Use it for Adventure Touring, hefty gravel, Tandems, Utility or Cargo Bikes; it won’t complain!
  • The Dually: The go-to option for anything Plus Size or Fat tyred. 39mm internal width, ready for the rowdy stuff.
  • The Quill: A super classy 25mm deep, 21mm internal tubeless ready Rim Brake road offering Also an excellent Light + Credit Card Touring option.
  •  (The Atlas: a non tubeless addition to this list making a guest appearance, known for it’s no nonsense hard knocks yet classy eyeletted box section, great for retro inspired builds).

All rims come with a heap of custom options. Choose black, a beautiful raw-milled finish, polished silver and a range of custom anodised colours – Gray, Gold, Olive, Turquoise, Blue, Purple, Pink, Red, Atomic Tangerine. You can even choose an eye-popping ‘wet look’ ano finish to really wow your friends.

Keep checking in as the range of what and how I offer Velocity products increases and new ways to order are introduced.

I’ll ship from the USA a minimum of once per month or when I hit a full box worth (10 rims) – whichever comes sooner. Whilst we’re starting small now future plans include keepnig the most common rim, colour and hole count combo’s in stock right here in the UK so as you can get your high end hoops with even more ease.  For now though, remember: “Any rim, Any colour, Any time”!

I can also offer special “I need it now!” orders for those customers who really do need those deep custom hoops in a hurry! Just get in touch.
