I'm looking for a wheelset suitable for some road-based touring.

Ideal specifications:

- 36 spokes, front and rear
- 3x cross spoke lacing
- 126mm rear spacing
- 6-8 speed
- serviceable hubs
- clincher rims to take 30mm tyres
- under £80
Please let me know if you could help out...

Much appreciated,
Guy

Hey Guylo, I have a pair of nice wheels for sale: Shimano 105 hubs 7 speed cassette on Mavic black/grey open 20 UB rims, Vittoria clincher skin-wall tyres. Quite narrow tyres, like 25 or 23 mm, they;re very nice condition though and 28's or 30's would fit the rims.

The whole lot is literally almost new, virtually no wear on rims etc. 100 x 126 OLN

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
