Wanted: Nice wheelset (modern or older)

Posted on
  • yo guys,
    looking for a wheelset for my new build. something a little special is in order. basically just thinking some nice box rims laced to quality hubs. some semi-aero rims would be cool too. definitely dont want super-deep rims like h+'s though. some nice modern wheels similar to mavic ellipses would definitely be considered as well.
    dont really want to go lower than 28h and would definitely prefer 32h or 36h. i will be riding on the roads with these, hope to put lots of miles in on them, but they will also hopefully see a track in the near future.
    its obviously for a track bike so 100/120 spacing is needed.

  • A shot in the dark;
    I have some Weinmann concave rims on old Ofmega hubs. They're barely used, galvanised spokes though but do polish up easily. Currently 124.5mm OLN that had a 5 speed on there but has approx 15-16mm worth of spacers & washers (measured approx 1x 5.5mm, 1x7.5mm spacer + 1x1.5mm washer on drive side, 1 washer on t'other side) a bit of fannying about all round but they are nice.
    Just a thought :o)

  • hmmm, doesnt really sound like what im looking for but il bear that in mind. cheers.

  • little bump

  • I have this

    which I would consider splitting if you could give me an attractive price for the wheels...they're unused except from two 10 min rides.
    Mavic Open Pro rims, DT Comp spokes and System Ex track hubs in white...drool.

  • i should probably edit the title- i think silver hubs on silver spokes would suit the build better.
    but definitely interested in those jonny, really nice plus your build is alarmingly similar to mine- white frame with chrome forks and a nice carbon saddle. except all the hardware on my bike will be silver. this is why i think silver hubs and spokes would suit the build better.

  • Joe? They're nice indeed.

  • no worries joe. good luck with the search. and do drop me a line if you change your mind. though will put up a for sale thread soon.
