Wanted: Wheels (freewheel if possible)

Hi all,

If anyone has a pair of 700c wheels in decent nick give me a holla. Looking to spend up to about £100 for the total package. Don't need anything flash as just using them for commuting and bike does get left outside the pub on occasions. Based Holbron/Holloway so can collect from Central. Just looking for something solid.

Ideally looking for freewheel with 18t on rear if I get a choice.

Cheers ladies and gents

You are in Luck PQR,

I have a pair of formula flip-flop hubs with brand new 18t free wheel on the flipside. Mavic open pro on rear and MA3 on front.
All silver hub/spoke/rim.
Minimal brake wear on back>>not used free wheel much.More wear on front, but you will get a lot of use from them.

Bomb proof.Built by condor a few years back.

Downside:
Idiot shop assistant at condor put miche lockring on the flopside rather than DA.
Was never a problem since i didn't skid etc.
However when I changed sprocket their error became clear.
DA then ring fitted, but damage done to threads meant it is now totally threaded so these are free wheel flipside only.

There is an 18tooth fixed sprocket on the flop, but you use at your own risk.

£70 pair

Can get photos tomorrow,
or I'm in Herne Hill if you want to look in the flesh

Thomas,
they sound like what I'm after. Being a noob what do you mean about they free wheel on the flipside only?

dibs if PQR doesn't take.

aw mayn they're EXACTLY what i need and at the perfect price for my budget.

bassically, third dibs. :(

I think me playing around with the term flip-flop hub confused matters.

Basically one side of the formula hub has threads for a free wheel.
This side is in mint condition and has a new 18th free wheel in place.

The other side has threads for a fixed sprocket and reverse threads for a lock ring.
These lock ring threads are damaged.

This has no effect what so ever on the free wheel side.

here is a picture:

to change from fixed (as in the pic) to free-wheel you unbolt the wheel, remove it from the frame then spin it over.

Spacing for my wheels is rear 120mm. front 100mm

Mate, those look lush and more than happy to get them off you! Sorry fellas, going to claim those. Just got the tape measure out and the spacings are spot on too. Lets sort out times and places over pm.

On the up-side going to have a front wheel (Shimano wh-r500) I won't need any longer so if anyone fancies that give me a shout. I can put pics up if there is any interest

Gulp!!
Blush........

I'm without a camera at the moment so that is the first photo i could find on interweb of a flip flip hub.

However those are the same hubs, just mine are all silver.

Apologies

Thomas

hahaha, no sweat, as long as they work and spin properly that is fine by me. Thought they looked a bit clean and shiny.

photo' of the rear hub:

Oh and the free wheel (and fixed sprocket) is 3/32".
