I built these wheels a few years ago and they have around 350-400 hundred miles on them. I chose the offset rear rim to have more even spoke tension. The wheels are well tensioned following Velocity recommendations, round and true. I balanced the wheels with lead tape which improves how the ride in my opinion, and this may or may not work for you depending on your setup. They have been sitting for a bit in my garage, so it seems like time to move them on.
The hubs were inspected prior to building and any worn parts were replaced, which in this case were all ball bearings using G10, a few seals, and the free-hub body. The free-hub body is in very good condition, with normal signs of use. The hub shells are in good condition with all chrome intact, with a few minor signs of oxidation. The rear hub adjustment collar says "Record" even though it is a Chorus hub.
When the wheel was built I did not follow the original lacing marks on the hub: some say this matters, some say it does not, the choice is yours.
I find the braking surface to be a bit on the narrow side, so brake setup needs to be precise.
The Chorus internal cam QRs show some scratching from normal use, and are smooth in operation.
These are comfortable wheels
WHICH WILL FLEX
if you hammer them (although my weight was around 205 at the time, your results may vary.)
Although I used Stan's tubeless rim tape, I ran them with tubes, but they are tubeless compatible rims.
The rims are black, have an 18mm inner diameter, outer diameter of 23mm and a height of 19.5mm.
Velocity recommended tire widths are 23mm - 35mm.
No signs of scalloping on the braking surface, and the brake surface wall thickness ~ 1.3mm, so there is a lot of life left in them.
The front wheel is 2 cross using DT Swiss Competition Race 2.0/1.6/2.0 spokes and aluminum 12mm DT Swiss nipples.
The rear wheel is 2 cross non drive side using DT Swiss Competition 2.0/1.6/2.0 spokes and blackened brass 14mm DT Swiss nipples.
The rear wheel is 3 cross drive side using DT Swiss Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 spokes and blackened brass 14mm DT Swiss nipples.
Finally, I will give them a good cleaning before shipping in a properly padded wheel box.
