  • yeah the rims are £42 or something, £30 for the hub, & the rest goes of spokes, nips & wheel building and a Breaking surface (as i ride singlespeed) Not bad for a back wheel.
    Hope it lasts 6years or even half of that i'll be a happy customer.

  • Ok... Real Noob question... When i go to collect the wheel and have it fitted.
    whats the best way of getting that spare wheel back home on the bike?
    should i just carry the dam thing back or somehow connect the wheel to my chrome?
    dont want to cause a accident..

  • strap it to your bag easy peasy.

  • Sorry for the new thread, but I'm on the train and my search fu is weak right now. Going to be in Central London today, and I could really do with a new fixed wheelset, or at least a rear wheel/hub. Which places would be best to check out for half decent second hand parts with the limited time I have available?

    Alternatively, if you have anything suitable and can meet up, offers welcome!

  • Google search: lfgss.com + London bike shops brought up this:

    https://www.lfgss.com/shops.html

    Your best bet is to pick up the phone and call the shops to see what they've got in stock.

    The obvious ones in Central London are:

    • condor
    • kinoko
    • fitzrova

    BLB is the only shop I can think of that has 2nd hand parts

    Also you should post in the mods thread and ask for this to be moved to classifieds > wanted

  • It's not really a wanted ad, I'm after information. I'm aware of the map, but I don't have the sort of data and battery available to hunt through all those listings to find out which ones might suit my purpose. Hence I was hoping someone who knows as such could point me to which shops are good for second hand bits, because I couldn't find a thread that did the same

  • Will try BLB though, it's near enough to my train home

  • Second hand wheels in central London? Good luck.
