We use Australia Post for all of our deliveries except for Bulky Items. For bulky items we use Direct Freight Couriers. Our internal shipping charge calculator will tell you the cost of your postage prior to your checkout.
In most cases buying more than 1 item will result in cost savings to you. Ordering items such as 2 bike cases may not result in any savings due to their volume. Ordering mid-size items like two fluid trainers together will result in very good savings though. Please create an account or log in to save it. Items that are in stock can be added to cart. We don't do "backorders". Oversized items are excluded from the free shipping offer. They're typically heavier and don't do well in cross winds, but in straight-ahead road riding, they are thought to be more aerodynamic.
As long as the rims come with machined sidewalls, they'll work fine for your purposes. The machining greatly improves braking by making the contact point for the brake pads more consistent. All that said, if you're riding around town or even doing more recreational road riding, I think you'll be better served by a smaller sectioned rim like the Velocity Aerohead.
As indicated in the comment above by psycling, a deep section wheel has increased lateral strength; that is, side-to-side. Lateral stiffness is apparent to me when grinding along on a tall gear, throwing the bike side to side, as typical with a fixed gear or singlespeed. An average wheelset makes this movement feel 'spongy,' like every time you stomp on a pedal with the bike leaned over the front wheel is springing sideways a little bit.
This flex is reduced with a deep section wheel, resulting in a more solid feel. I don't know about the detail of the physics on this, but my perception of riding a laterally stiff wheelset when I'm limited to one gear ratio is that less of my effort is 'wasted'. More fun. The weight added by the rim around the circumference of the wheel is a factor to pay attention to; it will result in a cycle which feels noticeably slower to accelerate, depending on the weight cost vs.
Some folks don't think this matters, but I'm not particularly perceptive and even I can tell the difference a few hundred grams makes here. These characteristics are valuable when you're a velodrome track star, as acceleration from a stop isn't as important as cruising efficiency and there aren't any potholes.
There's no strong argument why you shouldn't use a deep-v wheel on a geared bike, but if you examine the way you ride a bike with multiple ratios fewer forehead-vein-popping climbs you may find that it makes more sense to use a lighter rim with a more conventional cross section.
I have ridden the Velocity aero rim as previously mentioned and it made a very nice, durable wheel, a good compromise. Old thread, but here's my take on the question: the answer is an emphatic NO. I was just too heavy lbs.
