Wanted: Road Wheel set - 6/7speed

Posted on
  • Hey,

    A friend has picked up an old 6-speed pug and needs a wheelset.

    Rear spacing looks like 123-126mm or so. Didn't have callipers when I had a look, so its a bit of a guess.

    Looking for something half decent. Ideal is decent campag/shimano on some mavics.

    Budget is *around *£40 depending on quality/condition.

    Let me know what you've got.

    Cheers.

    EDIT:

    wheels must be:

    • 700s
    • clinchers
    • 32 - 36 hole (at least on the rear - he's not that light and they'll be used on london roads)

    Would it be less than £40 for this notional pair of wheels were they less than pristine?

  • still got this, I'll be in brixton next week and permanently from the new year

    Cheers - I'm guessing 7 speed cassette might be a bit wide - need to confirm rear spacing.

    Are you suggesting that my request for a pair of NOS vintage record hubs laced to a pair of limited ed mavic's for under £40 is unrealistic? ;)

    TBH I was thinking of something like the campag tipo/ma40's on Hilary's thread or these from the 'bay

    ...do you have something suitable?

    The main things are; they fit, aren't a pile of shit and *serviceable *- brake wear, truing, re-packing grease, etc. is fine.

  • I've got a pair of MA3's on shimamo RSX hubs with stainless DT spokes. Not been used since they were regreased.

    quite modern though innit

  • Hmm. If he's happy enough with modern, got some no-name cassette hubs on Rigidas, never actually been ridden. I mean, a 6-speed Pug, got to be a steel frame, it'll either spring to 130 quite happily or cold set easily enough.

  • 126mm will take 130 or 135 easily if reset

  • It's very likely 126, pretty sure 120 was only 5 speed so 7 speed will fit fine.
