Cheap Touring Wheelset

Posted on
  • A friend had the wheels stolen off his RIDGEBACK Voyage Touring Bike last night.

    Does anyone have anything for sells that would be suitable? He is supposed to be going on a tour in 2 weeks, and doesn't have a lot to spend.

  • Not exactly cheap but I have some Ambrosio Zenith/Exal LX17 wheels in black/black I bought for a touring build but a change of plan means they are redundant to me right now.

    They are exactly these.

    Brand new, never used. £240 inc. shipping so I'd take £200.

  • The @spj7 I think he is looking to spend more like £100.

  • No worries.

  • I have a spare pair of cheap touring wheels.

    They're tiagra hubs (the current 4600 so take up-to ten-speed cassettes), Sapim Race spokes (32 in each wheel) and Rigida Sputnik rims. Used but sound and with loads of life. The rear hub has had one grease re-pack.

    They could use new tape.

    £80 posted is fair I think.

  • great @miro_o will pass the message on.

  • There is a little bit of rust/staining on the rim eyelets. Nipples are fine though so this won't affect anything.

    They're really solid wheels.

  • i have a pair of new Rigida ZAC rims on unbranded shimano 8/9/10 speed hubs which are 135mm OLN & take up to a 45mm tyre. Zero use but some small cosmetic sigs of storage in my spare room, all straight & 36 ss spokes front & rear.

    I've a part used 42mm ish tyre I could include FOC, I've also got a (single) new 42mm Spesh Borough which are quite fast rolling for another £10. Or I have some new Schwalbe Marathon City tyres which are 38mm or so £24 extra for the pair. I might have some puncture repaired tubes I can throw in too.

  • Thanks for the help everyone. My friend opted for new wheels .
