Hi all!
I crashed into the back of a builder's van last week on Wandsworth bridge, it was my fault, the guy was really nice and he didn't care about the scratch I made on his paint and was more worried if I was OK.
The bike is fine, except that my rear wheel is now out of service, I don't understand why my back wheel got damaged in a front collision, whatever.
As you can see here, the rim did not survive:
So I would need to find the same one so that it matches the front one. It does not need to be NOS, just reasonnably good condition, and affordable...
Mavic MA40 it is, 36 holes, CLINCHER
Next problem is the hub, a campagnolo typo, that did suffer too from the crash and need a new axle, 126mm spacing (or is it 127? not sure... for a 6 speed freewheel, shimano 600) once again, no need for NOS, just something in good condition and straight...
Thanks for reading!!
Loic
