Namaste,
Here for sale some items to help your chakra quest or improve your stylish cycling, whichever you consider most important.
First up;
32h fixed/free Suzue Pro Max hubs laced 3x front and rear to DT Swiss RR 1.1 rims with DT Swiss Competition spokes. Hand-built by our very own 36x18.
I've ridden them for a couple of years so they're well used, but I'm the only owner and all components were brand new when they were built. Also both fixed and free threads have seen use during their time which means both braking surfaces show signs of wear. However they're still strong and true and have never given me a whiff of bother. They're definitely not fit for your Sunday best any longer but still roll a bit better than a beater deserves. Price though reflects their age.
Both 25mm Continental Super Sport Plus tyres are included - they're very reliable as just 2 punctures to the front confirms. The rear is in worse shape than the front (although not shot to shit due to skidding, the vast majority of its wear comes from normal usage). However view it like your bastard step-brother - you may not like it but it's part of the package. I have no use for it so it's staying put, plus it's not quite dead yet. Front is fine - obviously both tubes are included, as is a DA lockring. There's no sprocket and I wasn't planning to provide the nuts as they're shabby, but can be thrown in should a buyer wish.

These were a fun break from clipless but there's no comparison so I'm switching back again. I bought them from eBay - bearings and threads both very good. The clips are extremely rigid - once you're snug they don't budge at all. I think they're a large (I'm a size 10) but they're adjustable, albeit very slightly. Straps are in very good shape despite showing acceptable wear - again they're sturdy and the buckle has never let me down. The pedals themselves are scuffed in keeping with regular use. Finding them in this colour isn't so common.
As the photos show the bolts don't match. My LBS didn't have any with matching threads other than the nut and bolt assembly, which is on the right pedal. I suppose it's quite ugly but it doesn't interrupt the pedal stroke although their heads do protrude, unlike the original bolts which sit flush with the platform. However it's a decent solution as they keep the fixing secure.

Lastly these were bought from this thread. I intended to use them for my Corsa Extra project but I replaced them for a set of Record in a more favourable length. These though are in excellent shape, both arms and rings. 53/42, 172.5 - shields intact and minimum heelrub or scuffing of any kind. Original chainring bolts included, but no crank bolts as none came when I bought them from Jim. I'd like back what I paid please.

Dibs on the thread followed by a PM please. Cash only too as flabby Gideon's 70p increase to my Jobseeker's Allowance payment hasn't set my arse on fire. Collection in W10 - more photos/information on request if I've missed anything, plus inspection of any item is welcomed provided you bring me Hoegaarden.
