My old track wheels are not being used anymore, so they must go. I've had them about 10 years and have only ever used them on the track and the guy I bought them from also was track use only, but they would work well on the road, they are super tough.
I think they are Mavic hubs and they are definitely Mavic Open Pro CD4 rims, which are super tough and very true, the hubs have a different style of fixing in that the axle does not finish in a massive nut thing, but a rather more dainty aluminium collar with a 5mm allen bolt holding it all together. I never had a problem with them doing up, but being rather anal I overtightened them once and the bolt went straight through one of the aluminium collars. But then again, I am 90kg and a big sprinter and they were always super tight and I guess fatigue got the better of this one (but then I do overtighten things on a regular basis) I put a washer in and did two more track seasons on them, so no probs there. They are 28 hole front and rear and have been brilliant wheels.
I have no idea of the value of such wheels, but they must have a retro value, so say £130 posted ?
As for the cog, well, its an Andel, its 18T and its BC1.34x24tpi whatever that means ! £10 posted ?
