Yes fam - Shimano DA 9000 C50 Carbon Clinchers (WH-9000 CL)
Rim brakes = HHSRB
The story is one as old as time:
Middle-age man buys himself boujie wheels (cos he's worth it.....)
Too nice to ride so they never get used
Need funds for a new road bike after my last one got turned into splinters by an oncoming car.
Flogs them to fund new project whilst wrangling with insurance company
50 mm deep 22.4 mm wide rim with alloy braking surface
This is actually quite good if you're lazy like me, enables poncey summer wheels without needing to switch out brake pads
Techy bits
21 spoke rear and 16 spoke front
stainless steel butted and bladed straight pull spokes
3 mm offset asymmetric rear rim
Usual Shimano cup & cone bearings but with Borozon treated bearing races (no, me neither)
Titanium Freehub body for 8, 9, 10 and 11-speed cassettes
1672 grams all in
No skewers, tyres or cassette
Photos to follow
Wasn't really sure how to price these
They were eye wateringly expensive when new (£1600) but a wee bit dated now I guess....
I was thinking £400 ish but if that's taking the piss, just shout (or put me in the "your classified is overpriced" thread)
