I have managed to secure some good pricing on Velocity Dually wheelsets and rims. I have been using these rims for testing on the Rooster and they have proven to be excellent. The rims are all now made in the USA and the quality is really very good. They are light for their size, strong and run tubeless easily. The wheels are all very well built in the USA and use quality parts. The Comp and Pro versions get a nicer quality hub, the front of which is 15mm convertible. The Comp uses DT Competition spokes, the Pro is the same but uses Sapim CX-Rays.
Velocity Dually 'Standard' Wheelset - QR front and rear. £320
Velocity Dually 'Comp' Wheelset - convertible front and QR rear. £420
Velocity Dually 'Pro' Wheelset - convertible front and QR rear. £530
All wheels are supplied with tubeless tape and valves fitted.
Velocity Dually rim only £80

P.S. I am still working on something for tyres as well.
P.P.S. These prices include VAT and delivery in the UK, additional shipping cost may be required outside the UK.
I have absolutely no idea whether this is a good deal or whether alternatives exist. Anyone who knows more about this and can offer some pointers (or just take the p1ss out of an early adopter / band-wagon-jumper ) would be appreciated.
I have dually rims. They are very nice. a sniff over 700g each on the scales of doom.
Built up easily, went tubeless with a stip of stans wide tape easily.
Seem tough enough so far.
Thats a very good price too, for the rims
Cant speak for the hubs or build in particular.
Tyres are about 65 normally for the 120tpi which is the lighter one. Mine works tubeless.
I'm not sure about those hubs - I've seen something on MTBR or similar about Velocity hubs being re-branded Formula hubs - ATM I think I'm more likely to buy a pair of the rims and get them built onto a pair of s/h Hope hubs

I think that was kind of what I was saying. The duallys went tubeless with no faff really. Just had to go hell for leather with the pump. ( might have used a bit of soapy water too with the knard, I forget now)
Personally I only ride tubeless now
