Wanted: Wheel and Stem

Posted on
  • After a spoke went flying from my front wheel the other day before riding critical mass, i absent mindedly careered into the back of a black taxi on the way home (to the sheer delight of the driver, already put in a good mood by the mass) Thus, somehow i don't think a bent 31 spoked front wheel is ideal, so i'm looking for a new one...

    700c, no preference on colour, smell or taste, the cheaper the better

    I also need a 1-1/8 a-head stem, 26mm clamp size

    i've got around £40 to spend in total,

    cheers.

  • re-lace your wheel.

  • Htfu?

  • my wheels are slightly buckled how easy is it to straighten them up? tools etc

  • piece of piss, use a spoke key or a hammer

  • ill find my hammers then! go through so many wheels

  • try the spoke key first (or ask lbs) THEN whack it with a hammer... and throw it away cursing me for my bad advice.

  • I've got a couple of wheels of varying attractiveness and a box full of stems, I'm sure you could come away with one of each and change from £40... I'm in SE1

  • its a shit wheel anyway, and i love an excuse to buy new bike stuff, i know i'll fuck up attempting re-lacing a wheel, plus it means new spokes/spoke

  • Sorted now.

    Thank you very much to retro di corsa for the beautiful wheel and stem!

  • try and look after this one ;-)

  • I also need a 1-1/8 a-head stem, 26mm clamp size

    How long? I've got a 10cm Easton EA30 (or maybe EA50, can't remember) for £10 posted
