• Some custom-built wheel sets for sale - some have tyres/tubes/rotors included, please get in touch if you'd be interested in a price for a different spec - plus a few other nice bike bits:

    1) DT M480 27.5" 650B 32h Shimano Saint/Deore 100/142 Centerlock New Custom-Built Wheels £200
    Front hub is non-boost 100mm width for a 15mm axle - but also compatible with a 12mm dropout and axle (the axle end caps have been expertly machined to create a slimmer profile and a reducer tube (15mm to 12mm) can be included at extra cost) and the rear is a Shimano Saint black 32h Centerlock non-boost, 142mm width for a 12mm axle). As supplied, the wheels come with a set of Aztec 160mm disc rotors that are almost new - the wheels have been tried out but not used in anger, so there are the lightest of wear marks around the brake track on both rotors.
    The wheels were custom-built by an expert wheel builder for a gravel bike project that never came to fruition. Spokes are DT Competition.
    Please note that the tyres shown in the pictures are NOT part of the listing and not included in the sale, but feel free to contact me if you are interested in having these included - Front is a Vittoria Peyote 2.1" folding and rear is a Continental Terra Trail TR 47mm. These were selected so that these wheels could be used on a gravel bike that could switch between 650B and 29" wheels, and were the widest tyres that would fit in the forks and under the seatstays/chainstays in the rear. If you have a gravel bike with geometry that is suitable for a change in wheel size and you want a pair of stronger, knobbier tyres for more serious off-road riding, then these could be perfect for you..

    2) 29" 700c Gravel/CX Alex, Shimano/Hunt, Tektro, Hutchinson, QR Disc 11s Custom-Built Wheel Set £185
    Note that this 700c (29") set is for quick release dropouts with 135mm rear spacing - this wheel set is NOT suitable for thru-axle bicycles! There is one small scrape on the new rear rim - Otherwise, the front rim has been lightly used, and completely rebuilt onto a new Shimano Deore Front hub. (100mm spacing, CenterLock Disc for QR) The rear is a newly-rebuilt Hunt 4-Seasons hub (135mm spacing, CenterLock Disc for QR) with new axle and bearings installed. Both wheels are supplied with Shimano QRs and with new Tektro 160mm disc rotors. The bare wheels (no rotors, QRs, tyres or tubes) weigh approximately 2000g for the pair. The front rim is around 21mm wide and the rear rim around 23mm wide. The front is about 20mm deep and the rear around 25mm deep. Both are black and any decals are black, so the overall look is consistent despite the components being slightly different.
    As these stand, there are a pair of lightly used Hutchinson Touareg 700x40mm folding gravel tyres and presta tubes on the wheels. The rear tyre has had a cut, which has been booted with a Tip-Top patch on the inside. Happy to include the tyres and tubes if the asking price is met, if wanted.

    3) Pair Mavic M719 10s QR Disc wheels, New, Custom Build, Shimano/Giant Hubs £135
    This pair of disc-brake 10s Shimano HG-compatible 700c wheels has a Shimano Deore front and a Giant rear hub and brand new Mavic M719 700c rims, along with new spokes and nipples, put together by an expert wheel builder. The front wheel needs a centrelock disc rotor, but the rear needs a 6-bolt rotor - and the rear wheel cassette freehub body is only suitable for up to a 10s cassette. I am not sure if the Mavic M719 rims are suitable for tubeless conversion, so will assume clincher only

    4) Pair of Schwalbe Kojak Brompton 349 16" Superlight, Fast-Rolling Tyres/Tubes VGC £50
    This set of Schwalbe Kojak 16" (349) folding tyres in very good used condition (centre line of the tyre still visible, so low mileage, little or no cuts, nicks or embedded grit/glass in the tread), with two new Schwalbe SV4 lightweight butyl presta-valve inner tubes. If you want to make your Brompton go faster, this is by far the most cost-effective way to go (but with a decrease in puncture resistance compared to what's commonly used on a Brompton!). Retail for two new tyres and two new tubes is around £100 (plus postage?), so bag a bargain.
    Once I have pictures uploaded, the ones on sale are the top two - the bottom one looks newer than the top one, but the sidewalls have simply stayed a bit cleaner; the bottom one is (fractionally) the most worn of the three. If you would like to purchase all three tyres (and a third new tube), I can do a deal for all for £70).

    5)2x Schwalbe G-One Ultrabite Folding TLE Tubeless MTB Tyres 2" Wide, 650B/27.5"
    £55
    Both tyres are in excellent condition, one has a small amount of tubeless sealant residue inside (see pictures - once loaded up), the other one is completely clear. You can see almost no wear to the tread blocks, and both tyres still have some of the slender rubber "hairs" from the moulding process.

  • Cont'd:

    6)Shimano Dura-Ace 7700 Silver 32-hole Front Hub, Used, VGC £25
    For sale is a Shimano Dura-Ace 7700 Silver 32h Front Hub. It has been used and there are marks around the spoke holes. The "Dura Ace" branding on the hub shell is very faint. The bearings spin beautifully and it's in very good used condition. I can't see any way to confirm that it's a 7700, but looking at other online resources, I've seen identical hubs that are listed as 7700. There is no QR with this hub (but I will happily throw one in, but it won't be DA!).
