Next up a rather larger box. Could this be a lovely set of Zipp 202 Firecrest clinchers?
Not quite, because the rear hub is shagged. Thankfully they were advertised as such and I got them for a comparative steal.
It's high time I learned how to build wheels so whilst I'm sure there are easier rims to start with, I couldn't resist with what I paid for these. They've evidently had quite a hard life and the front feels a bit gritty, so I'll likely swap that one out too whilst I'm at it to something like a Hope RS4.
And in terms of what's going in the back, well I just happened to see find this on eBay at the same time. Sure it's a bit of an old fashioned way of doing that power measurement lark, but will give me free choice of what to do crank wise.
