Wanted: Fixed rear wheel

Posted on
  • Looking for a fixed rear wheel to get me rolling.

    Could be a dirt cheap create beater wheel for the time being

    or preferably:

    a pair of nice strong wheels -something a little fgfs - wide (chukka/p35) rim with decent hubs (goldtec/phil)

    any help would be great!

    Cheers xxx

  • Miche on Mavic and Rigida?

    They are real grubby, but would look real nice once cleaned.

  • Goldtec on mavic cx33 130mm.

  • Hi, just joined. Apparently I need to make 3 contributions before I can post a question of my own. In the meantime does anyone have a view on what sort of brake levers I should use when I convert my old track bike for road use? Top of bar or on the drops?

    you'll avoid being flamed and keep people happy - welcome to the forum

    The (rather dated FixieLords) fashion is for top levers. I recommend proper levers on the drops if you want more positions for your hands on the bars. Better for climbing etc. Finally realised this a couple of years ago when I built my One Bike to Rule Them All, and got the Tektro/Cane creek ones which I like a lot. You can even get them with gum-coloured hoods for that old-school look.
