  • Yeah, I mean, unless you wanna look like a total badass :)

    They're pretty specific/stupid wheels though - 32h but black bladed CX-rays handbuilt onto deep as fuck carbon dynamo disc hub :)

    Converted to tubeless.. then I broke the only bike that can use them. Maybe I should deconstruct the wheel and part it off.

  • I feel like second-hand carbon rims (and spokes if you decide to sell them - I've never heard of second-hand spokes) are going to lose a lot of value since the #buyer is basically unable to assess the structural integrity of the rim, and there's a major risk of unplanned dentistry
    especially with the front wheel.

    Anyway my point is you might be better off buying a relatively cheap QR fork and using that until you run the wheel into the ground rather than losing money by selling it for less than it's worth. You could use it as a training wheel and put a nicer one on when you race, or buy a really nice fork and use that wheel as your race wheel.

  • its ok, its just moscon

  • It's a 32 spoke carbon rim that's survived 10k under me though, not some prototype tri-spoke. But I see what you mean. I was really just talking about selling the hub, the rim can go on the wall and the spokes become spares. Because it's such a silly wheel I'll almost certainly keep it until I have a bike that'll suit it.
