Hello building my first fixie on a tight budget, looking to buy a rear wheel with a flip flop hub.

Thanks in advance

I've got the bike

looking for a fixed wheelset with a 130mm rear hub, something around the 80 quid mark would be good although willing to pay more for something tasty.

Well if you're really on a budget then maybe you should see about getting a 2nd hand one? ebay or post a wanted ad here. Or find out about a community bike project in your area.

Failing that someone else on here will have to recommend you a shop in your area. I'm not in London or Brum.

You could do with being slightly more specific with your request. What size wheel are you after? Is it a 700? a 27"? An MTB?

he has posted an ad here, and i'd guess, unless stated otherwise, it's a 700.

Might be a sneeze over your budget, but I've got a sexy black/silver wheeleset going for the £120 mark. I don't really want to split them, but for the price…

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
