Miche X-Press track wheel rim
A Miche rim off a Miche track wheel with broken hub. It had had very little use before the wheel was unlaced, so the rim is true and circular. The wheel was also used brakeless, so the braking surface is untouched. It's a 32 hole rim.
£10.
Korabar RD1205 rims x2
A pair of fairly modern 36 hole rims. Quite deep 'aero' profile and narrow section. Non eyeletted. These are the machined braking surface type. One of them shows the machining removed a fair bit, the other having virtually no wear in comparison- must have been for front wheel use. The profiled rim surface has one or two marks here and there.
£6
Rigida rim
This is a modern 36 hole rim. Single eyeletted. This has been de-stickered, but I know it as a Rigida rim, think it's the Chrinos model. It's the machined braking surface type and these show no visible wear. Can't see any other wear elsewhere either except for the mark from the innertube valve nut being fastened down.
£6
Shimano 600 and RX100 front hubs
Both 36 hole hubs. These look like they've only had minimal use- mechanically, the hubs are sound, bearings are buttery smooth and the cones/races only show faint circles at the points where the bearings make contact. Cosmetically, the hubs only show one or two marks around their centres. The only noticeable things to mention are some slight marks from spoke pressure on the flanges. Price £10 and £7
Campagnolo hubset.
Manufacturer is Campagnolo, although I don't know which model, seeing as it's design is one which was identical to many the manufacturer's other models (Xenon, Athena, Chorus, at least) during the early 90's (when these hubs come from)- when the only outward difference was in the design of the skewers each had. Unfortunately, I never owned the original skewers belonging to the hubs:)
Mechanically, everything's in good order. The bearings are silky smooth and threads are fine. Cones and races are excellent with only the circular lines where the bearings make contact- and I've recently replaced the rear's cones with Campag/same model excellent condition ones. OLN on the rear hub is 130mm. I'm happy to include a pair of same type Campag skewers, if they're needed, but obviously this would bump up the price a fair bit.
£18 the pair, or can split.
Suntour XC Comp front hub
A 28 hole hub. Condition is excellent, with just slight marks around the spoke holes from spoke pressure. The XC Comp model is next in line after Suntour's top of the line XC model, so you know it'll be well made. Bearing condition is excellent and they're recently greased/serviced, feeling buttery smooth.
£10
Ritchey modern 700C and 650C rim tapes
These are the plastic snap-on type, so not made of glue-backed fabric to be pressed around the rim. Come in a range of colours:)
£3 each packet of two.
Maillard front hub
A 36 hole hub. This looks like it's only had minimal use- mechanically, the hub is sound, bearings are buttery smooth and the cones/races only show faint circles at the points where the bearings make contact. Cosmetically, the hubs only shows some fading to the logo on its centre. The only noticeable thing to mention is some slight marks from spoke pressure on the flanges.
Price £4
Shimano Exage HB-RM50 hubset
I bought these as a 32 hole NOS hubset, although unboxed and without their original skewers. To be sure of the NOS status, I've checked the cones/bearings and they're unused. Condition elsewhere is excellent also, bar a small dink above right of the rear's logo, due to being stored without their boxes. The freehub body is for 8 speed, and has the same HG feature as mentioned above for the Dura Ace hubset. I've supplied the skewers in the pics- they're same design Shimano ones, and I believe they're of the same vintage as the hubset. OLN 130mm.
£16
British Hubs (BH) Airlite rear hub with original BH track nuts
This is an example of the small flange version of the famous 50's Airlite. It's the track variant as well though, with the solid axle, despite their being seeming holes in the ends of them:) 40 spoke holes. It's a fixed/fixed double sided design. Cosmetically, the hub is only average condition, with the most noticeable issue being some obvious flaking to the chrome finish. This is a tad better than the above Bayliss Wiley rear though, and also the corrosion has hardly effected the steel underneath the chrome, so IMO the lack of pitting would make for an excellent re-chrome job, if the new owner felt the need. Hub flanges show some marks from spoke pressure. Mechanically, the hub is sound, bearings have been regreased and cones and races show minimum wear with no pitting. OLN is 110mm, and could be shortened/lengthened by a few mm's. Threads are good on both sides, as well as for the axle/nuts, although the axle shows slight worn patches where the dropouts have made contact over the years. I can also include same era track cogs and locknuts, if they're needed.
