Right I have a coaster-brake wheel. This is lovely and strong.
Its a Velosteel hub. These work really well and get good reviews from lots of people. The hub has done about 300 miles give or take- however, the internal components are all off a brand new hub, as the original axle sheered and I just replaced everything as it was cheaper than getting a new axle.
The rim is a 36H Mavic Open-Pro in dark-grey. Lovely NOS rim when I built it- its an older version and so much stronger than the new ones (or so Im led to believe). Never seen a rim break- lovely and true.
The wheel was built by a DT swiss qualified mechanic (paddy off the forum who works in Putney cycles) used DT swiss stainless DB spokes.
Ill throw in a 17 and 18 sproket.
This is a lovely wheel and just not getting any use from me.
Can get some pics if people are interested- or welcome to come and see it in SE london.
**£70 I reckon **
*(£10-£15 andf ill chuck in tyre and tube- pretty much new Fyxation session 700)
