Wanted: Searching for a 650c front disc wheel

hello,

I am searching for any 650c (26") front disc wheel. Whatever the brand (Ambrosio, Campagnolo, HED, any other...), clincher or tubs, lenticular or paracular, whatever the color... decent condition and "reasonnable" price is all I ask for.

This is for a beautiful low profile frame which really deserves a full disc wheels set.

Any offer, please PM me ;-)

Thanks

you may need to buy a rear one and convert it to a front axle

(I'd sincerely hope its not going to be ridden on the open road as double discs- I had enough trouble with just a rear disc on the A1 Time trailling once- the lorries and buses bow wave of air pushing you away as the get closer, then followed by the suction effect pulling you in towards the rear wheels)

Hi,

I first had the same idea but most of the rear discs I have seen are not symmetric due to the freewheel.

By the way, I ride with a rear disc on my first lo-pro and I haven't noticed such troubles even with cars and an average wind. I have the chance to ride on quite calm roads though, big lorries are scarce. Anyway the other bike with double disc is not intended to ride daily, don't worry.

All depends how heavy you are......I'm 75kg and have never noticed a problem with a rear disc on busy dual carriageways. But under 65kg and I would imagine its deadly !

You might just get a 650 rear track disc, which would be symmetrical. I've seen the odd one over the years. But you'll be lucky to get a 650 front. Very rare these days.

Aha. I've a front 650c Campag Khamsin i might be getting rid of, depends what you would be willing to offer. It's been in storage since the last time it was used in the 96 championships (or so says the sticker over the valve hole). It's got a fair few little blemishes as you'd expect but overall good nick and the hub spins smooth. I'll try get photos up over the next day or too, i'm up to my tits with work at the minute

Well... I'm a little 58kg climber :)
I would not try a disc wheel in high winds but in calm or average winds I don't feel any problem. Maybe it is more critical when you are on the aero bars? With a bullhorn I have more lateral control.

Matt81, I PM you.

Hi mate,

Thanks, I did not saw this auction.
Probably not a real carbon fiber HED but at this price it is worse to be tested.

Hi,

Front disc wheel found... I even found 2 of them.

I'm now searching for a bullhorn handlebar with curvy style and a lot of drop. Like 3TTT "51.151" , "Moser 44" or similar models. If you have something in stock don't hesitate to PM me ;-)

Thanks
