I gave my tired polo steed a bit of a makeover. Here's what I changed:

-converted to singlespeed
-bmx bars off of a toddler's bike
-burly half-link chain
-shimano deore v-brake setup (from cantilever's)
-26", 48-hole velocity chukker rim, laced to dt swiss black spokes & a no-name hub from Ben's cycle.

Did you have trouble finding 26" 48 hole chukker rim?

really? that seems strange, considering they're made in austrailia.

no, i didnt have an issue, just ask your local velocity dealer or LBS if they can get them. they may have to make a phone call or two, but you should be able to scrounge one up.
