 Cane Creek Track Vs in the shop

These things look and feel unreal!!

From Cane Creek's website:

 The Track V wheels have all the convenient ride-anywhere flexibility of the Track V-33s, with one difference: The rims have a 30mm profile and are straight-up aluminum. You still can enjoy the “flip flop” rear hub that allows you to run both a fixed gear and freewheeling gear and to choose the side that you want for the ride ahead. Sapim CX bladed spokes (24 up front, 28 in back), three hub colors, one exceptional wheelset.

Our new Track Hubs feature extra-tall Torque Transfer Flanges to add extra lateral stiffness. The rear hub comes in two configurations — traditional fixed-gear only, or an optional “flip-flop” design that allows for a freewheeling gear on one side and a fixed gear on the other. The hubs roll on sealed cartridge bearings designed to ensure smooth long-running performance, and are available in blue, red or silver.

Reds and Blues in shop for $525 a set.
