No one wants to buy your shitty BLB

I've had my eye on this for a while, I reckon it'd be decent for a newbie TT wheelset with a disc rear. Just need to find yourself a nice 18h front hub.

Or use a 36 hole hub missing every second hole

I think that is generally a bad idea due to the weakened flange. But maybe it'd be alright with such a deep rim. Some Zipp hubs are 18h as well as Fulcrum and some others.

I actually have an 18h Fulcrum Racing 5 hub - free to any forumer who is willing to pay postage. It needs straight pull spokes though and is not light (but with 80mm rim do you even care about weight)?

Edit: weight of that hub is listed here - I've had an eBay alert set up for 18h rims to go with it (which is how I found that SRAM one) but I'm not prepared to invest the cash in straight pull spokes and rim brakes

Wow, twenty six whole pounds. Truly unimaginable riches. Let me rephrase:

No one on this forum wants to buy your shitty BLB.

This is not a thread for promoting your eBay sales.

Take your "pauper" bullshit back to 4chan - or as they might put it: b&

You’d have to pay me to take that piece of shit.
Off you pop >>>

You sure you want to sell it? Seems to suit you to the ground.

In what way would the flange be weaker?

I can't recall exactly but I looked into it once and decided it wasn't for me. For a start I don't think a typical 36h flange is going to be rated for radial lacing which is one of the few lacing patterns that works on 18h.

You seem nice.

i'd hazard a guess he was being sarcastic. posting your own ebay sales is frowned upon

This is a thread for, you guessed it, 'eBay and Craigslist finds'. Did you 'find' that ebay ad? If we all just start posting our own ebay sales on this thread, it becomes completely worthless. Really not that hard to understand, is it?

@blackmath @frankenbike

I have a 24h rim built, radially, on a 48h hub and it’s been fine despite a good amount of abuse. It’s a bmx hub so not weight weenie stuff but 48h means there’s even more holes and less metal in the flange than with a 36h hub and it’s a low flange hub so they’re pretty close together.

Ymmv.

Just nabbed these Roox and Planet X jump stems. Dog knows why. I just liked them really, one will go on a tourer I’m building.

Just buy a new Chinese rim. S80 rims aren't great.

Does this seem magnificently/suspiciously cheap? Can anyone tell the approximate year from the somewhat blurred photos? I'd like to have some idea of clearances.
Also, as someone who rides a 54cm frame, what are my chances of stretching onto a 56?

Mercian Lugless 653? V cheap if it is... Sadly not my size

That giving me some flashbacks. I had the Roox in red on my Trigger's Broomed Gt Tequesta when I was young. The Tequesta was even in GT Team Scream colours, if only I still had it...

It is my size but can't get up to grab it, balls.

From where? Train from St Pancras is £23-27 as long as you don't buy it on the day

Cornwall, everything is bloody far from Cornwall. Nevermind, it's not like I NEED it.

@Velocio @hippy ?
