KEEP ON ROLLING

Velocity was founded by Tom Black just outside of Brisbane, Australia in 1989.  Their first product was an adjustable aluminum waterbottle cage called the 'Velocage'.  It was such a clever and simple design that sales spread outside of Australia to the United States, by way of Tom's brother John Black of Kentwood, Michigan.  As the company grew, so did its product offering and in 1991 they introduced their first aluminum rim, the Aero.  Velocity set itself apart by offering a variety of rim drillings, sizes, and colors for the custom wheel builder.  Velocity's reputation was formed by providing an exellently manufactured and high quality product, with service and flexibility that is unmatched.

The '35' part is a reference to its astounding width, which gives any wheel built with it a larger footprint, and so, more traction. Very useful for cross-country and all-mountain riders who are looking for lateral stiffness without so much weight

VELOPLUGS

Why wrap your complete rim with a roll of heavy cloth tape when for less than half the weight you can use the Veloplug?

Tire mounting is easier with the Veloplug. Rim strips take up a lot of space making tires more difficult to mount. With the sleek and slippery Veloplug, a difficult to mount tire becomes easy.

Veloplugs will not rot, slip around or retain water when moisture enters the rim.

Red plugs fit non-eyeleted Velocity rims

Yellow plugs fit eyeleted Velocity rims

Pack of 72

Save ~15 grams over cloth tape on a 32 spoke 700c wheel

Incredible blowout strength - takes well over 400psi

Spoke replacement is simplified as there is no need to remove a sticky strip. Just pop out the Veloplug over the offending spoke and pop it back in when repairs are complete. They can be used over and over.
