You can get 650 velocity deep V rims for $10 at Nashbar but they're clinchers.

Don't know if stretching tubulars on a clincher rim works or not.

Nahsbar used to have 650 pro elite rims (the tubular version) even cheaper but it looks like they sold out. I have a couple in my garage that I probably don't need but shipping rims is kind of more trouble than its worth. I bet some mail order outfit is still selling them cheap. do a search on an internet search engine or qbike.com or bestbikebikebuys.com for "velocity pro elite"

Yes it works. I do it with my tires.

Thanks all. Jaretj - I suppose it would be a good idea to put rim tape on the clincher rim as a little added protection, even though the tubies have a pretty stiff backing?
