For Sale: Wolber Profil 18 28h Titane Magnesium rims

I recently bought a pair of track wheels second hand for the hubs. I have no need for the rims (I don't ride tubular).

Both rims are 700c, 28h, 18mm wide, and are for tubular tires.

Condition is excellent. They have clearly never been braked on, there are no dents, scratches or cracks on either rim. They could easily pass as NOS. Tires have been fitted, but all the glue residue has been removed with no resulting marking to the rim bed. They appear to have been built by Mercian Cycles in Derby, each rim has a sticker adjacent to the Wolber sticker confirming this. Both the Mercian and Wolber stickers are in excellent condition. They are incredibly light, at a quoted 348g a rim! Nice rounded 'v' cross section, dificult to see in the photos.

More details on the rims here:

Given the condition and potential rarity I would say £50 posted is more than fair. I would accept £40 collected from Bath / Bristol area.

Fuuuucccckkk- why tubs?

Beautiful rims.

You need to start riding tubbies Chris. It's amazeballs.

Magnesium eh? If you ride in the rain - these will presumably become 'wheels of fire'

Rather tempted and I am in Bristol. Rather short on funds though, do you have anything you are after...?

These are available again now.
