That's ok then. if some noddy can ride to work on it then must be fine for track league.

strange description! but they are actually "ok" for what you want, provided the build is solid.

mmmm, helpfull...you wanna enlighten me mate....they probably are total poo-tash, but for a new guy they'll be ok to learn on right??!!

cheers dude, that was the answer I was looking for....I'm just starting, so not gonna be smashing them up!!

Learn on? in what sense? Balancing?

dont you ride one of these^^already?

looks like you got a bargain, 60 quid for a track wheelset inc. sprocket + rimtape. as long as it's been built well, it's fine.

I'm a lycra clad tri-boy...never even sat on a fixie before, I just fancy something different....Just hacking around on and doing stupid stuff will do me!! I live in Milton Keynes...hardly the fixie capital of the world, was hoping you guys could help out a bit!!

dont you ride one of these^^already?

Very good, i do ride one of those mate, yes....only started riding last year after one too many injuries on the rugby pitch....So not really an out&out tri-boy...

woah, you need to get down the bowl, get in the side fence---you will have legs like godzilla in no time ;-)
alternatively, ride from the city down midsummer blvd to station, rlj all the way at full speed,
that will get youre eyeballs popping.........

yea, I have a mate who rides track...he does intervals on midsummer!!

It's all in a solstice line dontcha know - the middle of the doors at CMK train station, all the way up Midsummer Boulevard, through to the viewing point at Campbell Park - all in a line for Midsummer sunrise...

Now what other site gives you wheels advice AND local knowledge like that eh?!

I really want to see the latest at the gallery actually, looks good- Nasreen Mohamedi.

yea your good.....all on one thread as well!! :-)

Cheers...is there a fixie meet near MK or is it all in Londinion town??

laaaaaahdan is morphing into Milton Keynes, or the other way round Im not sure.
since you got that new platform there must be only 45 mins between and you could be caning it down Euston road.........

Edit

Those wheels are very good for the price. I had a pair recently and they are well enough built.

Loose ball hubs with rubber seals which bind a bit when spinning in hand but not when on bike. They are fairly heavy at around 2200g but again for under £60 can't go wrong.

I've had a pair for a little while - they're nothing special, but they do the job. Worth it if you're trying to build a bike on the cheap.

hey ironman,
u got a good deal, sell it to me if u dont want it. alrite... : )

cheers for the coments guys, Not sure i'll be down to londinion town in the near future....need to learn to ride the damm thing before i make a fool of myself!!

However watch this space, I'll get my big ass down there!!

Cheers!!

I have them, fell apart after less than 30 miles. you'll need to have them rebuilt by good bike shop after not too long, but there okay for the price. rims are only 470g 2.4mm deep. spokes seem a bit crap and hubs are loose bearing.

What sort of 30 miles were you doing pal? Just commuting or were you smashing them up?? I have a good shop less than a mile from my house so I'll get them to check them over.....but cheers for your comment buddy!!
