Selling my 650b wheel set. Not strictly road per se, whack 'em on your MTB if you wish - but most MTB hubs are mad-wide bolt thru these days! These were used for maybe 6 months of dry commuting over this Summer .. tyres only done 3 months or so.

XT M756 6-bolt hubs
Commencal Alpha Enduro Rims
Fancy lightweight spokes (sapim D-light?)
Horizon tyres

Excellent condition. Surprisingly lightweight and even more surprisingly fast! The tyres are only 400g IIRC so they are very supple and mucho rapido! Tread is also very meaty and I've not had a single puncture.

Hubs roll well, maintained & full of Phil Wood grease for maximum cool. These are proper hubs, steel axle and big balls. Newer XT hubs are a bit lighter but the bearings are teeny and will wear out long before these hit puberty. The rims are 500g / 28mm wide and allegedly tubeless compatible (as are the tyres) although I always ran tubes.

£100 and you even get a spare tube!

I'll throw in the previous tyres too if the buyer wants them... a set of 650b 40c Marathons. They are literally double the weight of the horizons but despite thousands of miles (on various wheelsets) they look barely used... they will outlast your grandchildren

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
