Help me value this HED wheel

Posted on
  • Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me value this wheel ? I'd like to sell it but I don't really know how much it's worth. It's in perfect condition, no dents, a few very light scratches. 700c, clincher, 11s freehub, for rim brakes, 2.8lbs w/ tyre, 130mm OLD, Quick Release
    Thanks!

  • What's it worth thread>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • I am fairly sure, not 100%, that the Hed trispokes all have the valve accessible through the spoke not straight out the inner rim like that. I therefore suspect this is a copy rather than a real hed.

    Genuine second hand H3's go for £200-300, on a good day.

  • Yup sorry, I'll ask over there

  • Nobody will reply ;)

  • The GT3 has a regular valve hole (see this article https://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Things_that_Roll/Race_Wheels/Hed_revises_iconic_H3_4242.html), so I don't think it's a copy. I don't think it's a GT3 though.

    how much did you pay for it?

  • 500€ for the wheelset, but I'm only using the front wheel. It was a good deal, the seller wanted to get rid of them

  • update : @Matt101 you were right, I emailed HED and they confirmed it's a counterfeit wheel.
    The decals, valve hole, and hub are wrong. It is probably still safe to ride though, considering the fact that chinese tri spoke wheels are quite good

  • I personally wouldn't buy a fake HED as you can buy real ones for much less than what you paid for the set.

    It was a good deal

    Don't really understand why you are asking for the value of the wheel when you seem to think you got a good deal? this means you had an idea of the value to begin with, no?

  • I didn't know it was a counterfeit when I said it was a good deal .. 500€ for these two wheels seemed like a good deal considering their condition

  • I asked the seller to give me 200€ back since he didn't mention that they were counterfeits. He accepted.
    So 300€ for 2 tri spoke wheels in almost perfect condition, is it still a good deal? Or should I ask him to pay more ?
    Edit : I have PayPal's buyer protection

  • I’ll give you £100 for the fake rear

  • What do they sell for on Aliexpress? Have a look at this thread:
