Hi Joel S, I don't think Velocity will stop production of rim brake compatible rims. I am concerned about quick availablity, quick defined as less than 6 weeks of rim brake compatible rimes, particularly in the 650B size. I think the lack of readily available rims is somewhat driven by the rise of the disc brake. An informal survey of two local shops shows the majority of bikes for sale had discs on them.
I have been waiting since April for a 650B Velocity Quill rim. My internet search shows more availability of disc brake compatible rims.
