DCR Wheels Hubs x Sun Rhyno Lite x Sapim Strong 40h 4x 140mm/100mm Arai-threaded tandem wheelset

I'm selling our old tandem wheelset, which makes me slightly sad for no reason other than they served us very well! But a new set means I have no need for these.

These tick all the right boxes and were tremendously reliable wheels – 40h 4x Sapim Strong spokes and nice simple hubs from DCR Wheels. The rear bearings have a slight catch as you turn them in the hand, but run smoothly with no play. The front is buttery.

The freehub seal was damaged during an ill-advised axle removal (my mistake). This has no impact on function.

The rims are very lightly concave, but still have zillions of KMs left in them, especially if you run them with a drag brake. They also need a good clean.

A handful of spokes were damaged when the chain fell behind the cassette. I'll admit I had no idea until I removed the cassette, and several thousand touring KM with the wheels like this. It would be wise to replace these if you intend to do a far-flung expedition (I'll dig out my notes and share the length if you buy).

1. 700c
   
2. 140mm spaced rear, 100mm front
   
3. 40 spokes, 4x laced
   
   

£60? I'll post by ParcelForce in a proper wheelbox, which will likely cost around £12. I'm based in Bristol if you'd prefer to collect.
