Hello,
FS- stock front wheel from ~2009 Langster. Black medium depth rim. Black spokes. Black large flange hub. Unknown manufacturer.
Rim braking surface is worn below wear indicator.
Hub bearings badly worn. More detail: ball bearings were replaced with decent Shimano ones in 2015 but it was too late and the races were already ruined. Now they are worn unevenly and either there are tight spots or loose spots, despite my best efforts at adjusting them. They've had no adjustment in last year and have play all the way round.
Covered in London grime.
Basically this wheel is near EOL. It has a few salvageable parts and I would keep it as an emergency spare (you never know when someone will steal your wheel :() but don't have space. I took the rim tape for my new wheel build.
