The sale is for a pair of 26 inch silver Rigida Sputnik rims with silver Sapim spokes on a silver Son 28 front hub and a silver Deore XT rear hub. The wheels were originally built by DCR Wheels in Sussex and the first rims lasted about 20,000km. The hubs then had a service at DCR and 2 years ago I had the rims and spokes replaced by Future Cycles, Lewes. They have only done about 2000km since. Super tough rim brake wheels suitable for fully loaded touring.

Would go well with the Surly LHT frameset I'm also selling on here.

I'd like £200 for both wheels preferably with local collection from Brighton or meet somewhere mutually convenient like Clapham Junction.

Nice wheels! Did DCR service the Son? I bought one recently and shit myself when somebody told me they were not serviceable.

DCR built these wheels for my 2 year trip and when I returned he gave them a service of some sort as all his wheels have a lifetime warranty. Ask him what he can do, he's a nice chap and I've had 4 trouble free sets of wheels from him.

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.
