Gnarmac Wheelset and Tyres // Mostly Tubeless Ready £90

Picked up some fancy new wheels for my Arkose so got some to move on.

The front is the OEM on the Arkose 4:

Rims: Alex Volar 2.1, 21mm internal width, tubeless compatible
Front Hub: KT, 2 sealed bearings, 12mm thru axle
Tyres: Kenda Flintridge 700 x 35c Pro, 120tpi, L3R pro casing

The rear is a Mavic Aksium Disc in Shimano 11sp flavour.

No discs, cassette, or skewers/through axle included.
The front and rear wheels have the OEM Kenda Flintridge Pro tyres with tubes.

The bike was a shop soiled bike, so the oem rear wheel was damaged and swapped with this brand new Aksium Disc before I bought it.

The Garmin says the wheels and tyres have done 285 miles since new so barely used. If you desticker the Mavic (currently half done) then I think the rim profiles and depth are very similar and they would look like a matching pair.

The tyres are tubeless compatible and although the Mavic isn’t officially a tubeless rim, there’s plenty of people online that have run them tubeless so if you’re prepared to tape the rim then this wheelset is ready to go tubeless.

Pics to come tonight.

Wheels are located in Dalston, prefer not to post, evening or weekend collection also preferred.

If I'm really off on the price, let me know.

Clearly overpriced with no interest so now £90

Price drop to £100

I need these gone. £95?

Would both these work qr?

According to the Google, you could use a £15 nukeproof converter on the front hub to make it QR

Pretty sure Evans do the bit you need too. Saw it on their site recently. But now can't work out how to find it

In case my reply was unnecessarily cryptic, the reason I only mentioned the front is because the rear is already qr.

Ah reading back through my OP it seems I had not mentioned that the rear wheel is quick release.

Soz I've been out all day.
Let me check what I've got on the arkose ATM. Stock wheels. unsure of the age.

Price drop to £90

Need the cash and the space.

I'm out. I'm not hanging around to low ball you.
I've no space and the wheels i've got are working.
(Famous last words)

No problem, I should probably make them tubeless myself and sell them for double the price, right?

Yes.

Got the 10sp cassette that was on these wheels before available as a deal sweetener. Probably worth at least £10? Done maybe 200 miles more than the wheels.

Did these sell?
Are they a substantial/significant upgrade over the stock alex wheels that come with an arkose?
Can I get those jeans back?
Why is water wet?

@cake wants the rear wheel but hasn't actually collected or paid me yet, we can talk.

The front is a stock Alex wheel that comes with an Arkose 4, sealed, tubeless rim and tubeless tyre, just not made tubeless.

The rear is a Mavic Aksium Disc, I can't tell you if it's better or worse. It looks about the same to me. It's technically not tubeless ready according to Mavic but there's plenty of people online who have made them tubeless with no issues. The tyre is also tubeless, same as the front.

Yes, you can have your jeans back. Sorry.

A cursory Google suggests "Strong tetrahedral hydrogen bonding", it also suggests asking you if water is indeed wet, also, it takes at least 6 molecules to make water wet apparently.

Hiya.
Sorry, football, week off.

I could come to your venue of work and collect those jeans (just the Edwins really, if you wanted to dump the carharrts at a charity shop in the bin I wouldn't mind (I'm never seeing a 30w again. Sob)

Wheels I'm going to skip, I'm going to build a pair slowly over time....
