For Sale: Bespoke Fixed Fixed Track and Road Wheels New Improved offer to the forum

cheers @varno

I'd be keen to try out a pair of these.

Let me know if you're putting together a set.

Hi @varno I'm in need of a new wheelset after trashing my hub cones. Was thinking Mach 1 + miche, but was just wondering if the quando hubs you're using are sealed or not?

Quando are not sealed...The Miche are considerably a better hub. V

Cheers @varno - been riding the wheels you made me (miche+omega) for about a month and a half and they're working out pretty good so far.

Pleased to hear it mate...

We have just put a new build on the site, single sided Miche, double butted spokes and 23mm aero rim http://v-sprint.com/product/carbon-alloy-wheels/track-wheels/custom-hand-built-track-wheels-quando/

Hi Jim,
If they have a machine db raking surface I'll take them off your hands.
Thanks
Adam

@varno can you offer any sets fixed/fixed or are the builds limited to fixed/free? I need wheels I can ride at Herne hill with a track gi and can flip to something more sensible for a brakeless ride home...

Hey @varno.
I bought a set of wheels from you about 2 years ago. Pleased to say they're still performing fantastically despite two winters of abuse (about to go into a third).

I'm putting together a new build so I'm in the market for another set but it looks like some of the rim options on the site have changed and they're a little unclear.

I'm looking for this sort of combination on the Miche hubs:
Shallow profile MACHINED front
Deeper profile NON-MACHINED rear

Which of the drop-down options are Not CNC machined? i.e. the rim surface is entirely black.
The 40mm?
Also, what depth profile is the "Unmachined" option?

Thanks

Order placed for the fixed racing wheels. Looking forward to getting these!

I just ordered the black 40mm rear from V-sprint 2 weeks ago, it's unmachined.

Website seems to be down, temporary glitch?

I guess so, back up now!

@varno are you getting your emails from your website? I'm not hearing back from you...

Cool so if I can't get in contact about my order that was completed wrongly (wanted two cross front, got radial), with scratched rims, binding bearings on the rear and a cog that was not on tight enough (causing me to fall pulling away from lights) then I guess I'll just let the forum know that once you've paid, there's no communication at all.
I've tried emailing from personal email address, emailing via v-sprint website, replying to invoice email, and contacting here (leaving time to reply because of the busy holiday period) but have had nothing but silence. Emails enquiring about perchase got replied to though.

a cog that was not on tight enough (causing me to fall pulling away from lights)

I'd always taken it that the cog was only on loose so that if you don't want it on, it's easy to get off. And why on earth would you ride something like a new wheel without checking that the cog was on tight? I'd never trust a cog and lockring that I'd not installed or checked myself.

That's a completely fair point, this is the first new wheel set I'd bought so thought that installed meant rideable.

Chaps. Just picking this up. Ive not received anything on this. Heres my direct email v-sprint@live.co.uk feel free to mail me directly with any queries....Jim.

By way of reminder LFGSS has a full discount code set up which is lfgssprice.

Didn't realise you'd replied. I resent you my original email.

@varno still nothing. Really feeling like you can't be bothered once the wheels are sold.

Is @varno still doing this? Can't get any response trough mail or here...

Dunno, but if you need any after sales care or have any issue with your order then you'd be better off dealing with a brick wall

Might be selling mine if you're interested. They've not had a lot of use, and only dry miles.
