For Sale: Over-priced wheels, are you mug enough?

FOR SALE
Velocity Tubular Rims (all black) on black on-one hubs with one new and one lightly used Continental sprinter 19mm tubs (black)

Both wheels 32 spoke, double sided fixed hub

Only ever used indoors at Mancheter- no scratches, damage etc- basically look as new. Tubs were glued by a GB team mechanic so they're staying put!

Stealthy wheels for that bat mobile look- great for sprints (stiff as owt) or bunch races on the track, fixed gear tt, or if you like using tubs for road use.

Only issue- they have no track nuts! I lost them..they might turn up, they might not, but easily replaced.

Posted at cost (about £10) or pick up from Manchester
OIRO £220- not splitting the pair

just to be clear..I may not have been..these are complete wheels- not rims, hubs etc..

That seems a lot considering parts would be about £160 to build those yourself (or £10 for a wheel build in here).

Unless that was a typo and you ment £120 which would be more the ballpark.

As you like..a quick tot up for me
£48 rims
£60 spokes
£50 hubs
£75 pair of tubs

So I may have overestimated the cost of the tubs, but bear in mind these are built and glued, ready to ride. A set of hand built deep v wheels from brick lane is £200+ without glued tubs so you're welcome to buy there

If anyone would like to make an offer or would like pics let me know

Oli, where's them pics at?

pics

I haven't took them yet..bear with me!

try this for pics hopefully.. I think
One alteration to the spec- the tubs are 22mm not 19mm as I thought

Also included is the valve extenders and a dura ace lock ring
The hubs are double fixed with lockring threads as I thought

All good with the wheels, but...

More than a year ago I had a tubular wheelset build for the track. I paid Jos to glue a pair of Contis Sprinter and paid him £50 for doing so. And then I had a back injury and never went to HH. I picked up the wheels (still with a walking stick) and put them for sale on here.
They're never ever used - yet I charged for them as for a second hand item and never thought about either charging for the tubs nor for glueing them on.

I know - cool story, bro.

So..make an offer as suggested..or find something better to do with your time?

Why would you not charge for the tubs? You're getting them aren't you? This possibly suggests you just don't keep track of what you spend..I do, I just spent £46 getting a new tub and having it fitted, therefore I'd like some of that outlay back

One possible dibs..but no cash so feel free to offer still

Getting upset in your own For Sale thread is always a fast-track to making the thread popcorn.
Charge what you like but don't be surprised if people make comments, it's a forum.

General rule is you don't get money for tyres, they just make the wheels easier to sell.

You're better off posting in the track section, but if you search on here for tub sale threads you'll get an idea of how low you're going to have to come before you see cash from anyone on here.

Clinchers = Sale
Tubs = Fail

Just out of interest, where did you get the rims from? BLB?

No, it's a for sale forum..if you want the wheels happy days, if not go play in the forum..

The rims came through planet x, I think they probably bought them from blb though not totally sure.

If you're an actual track rider these are fine wheels, if you're not they aren't really so don't bother

Thanks for reading..

thinking about it, these are probably no good for poncing around london streets..these are real track wheels. enjoy

Tried putting a notice up on the board at the velodrome?

Stop getting your panties in a twist. The simple fact is, anyone could build these new for less than you want second hand. Grow up and be realistic. If you add the NEW price together, you don't get to £220

£80 pair rims
£20 spokes
£30 pair hubs
£60 pair tubs
£20 pair build
£5 lock ring
-£5 mising nuts

= £210 brand new!!

But given this you are breaking the forsale rules anyway, so should take your post down.

The man has a point... I'll leave the advert up but because you broke the rules I'll change the thread title for the punitive action.
