  • Looking for some strong 36spoke wheels. Ideally black rims/hubs. Fixed/fixed or fixed/free is fine. 700c. Must be postable as I'm oop north.

  • I forgot to add, I'm re-spacing to 130mm do they've got to either have a long axle, or a plain machined one I can replace.

  • Failing that, a pair or 36h hubs in black. Miche or something?

  • Budget?

  • Well it depends on what you've got really, if it's something nice and worth the dollar I'll shell out.

  • Well I have nothing for sale, but there are a number of bike shops around that make, and also post, wheels.

    E.g.

    BETD - 130mm axle black Goldtec hub on a black CXP33, with equivalent front wheel = £232 posted. Not cheap, but very nice and damn strong wheels.

  • Oh indeed, I can get some made up by my local shop if I want - I just thought I'd see if anyone had anything suitable.

  • 36 is OTT!

  • But if I have the option...

  • i got a black gran compe laced with double butted to a black open pro, strong enough, and about £130 f i remember right.

  • But if I have the option...
    go 32

  • go on then...why?

  • eg 32 hole deep-v onto shitty ambrosio hubs + polo for 18mths - 2spokes = still straight and rideable

  • 36 is OTT!

    Not for downhillers, heavy people, tourers, tandems, or people who want strong wheels, shirley?

  • You forget Dale is a bike nazi.

    My thoughts exactly.

  • right- I've got a set of Goldtec (rebranded as Condor- but Goldtecs for sure- so respaceable)
    on mavic cpx33s, I've owned them for ages.
    mostly black spoked- some repairs- true and straight

    how bout £130 + pp?
    can put pics up too.
    come with tyres etc. (mich pro races)

  • Interested. Pics if you could please.

  • pics aren't apparently where i thought they were.
    will do when get home from work.

  • ta.

    I've been trying to work you what I'd need to re-space 'em. What are the axles like on Goldtecs?

  • My thoughts exactly.
    so you killed 32's?!?

  • No, but I'm a heffer who wants strong wheels, so asking for 36's isn't overkill, IMO

  • it narrows your choices somewhat.

  • Seems that way yeah...

  • Wanted: Blanket statement
