For Sale: Campy hubs and mavic rims with a bit of a problem...

Hi,
I have some bits and pieces that you can view here;

They are obviously, campag hubs, in good condition, alright bearings and no external damage with 27" mavic module-e rims. I have taken apart the front wheel as the spokes are not in particularly good condition and polished it to give you an idea of the condition after a short polish.

The problem, that i have tried to capture is the rear block is rusted on. I havent yet given it the coca cola treatment but have tried to use a block tool on it, which did damage the lock nut (pictured) However the other side is completly intact (also pictured), so it is still definatly possible to remove. The block itself is 5 speed and not in aweful condition, obviously there is a bit of wear and tear on the teeth and bearings but it wouldnt be the end of the world if it had to remain on the hub.

I'm affraid i am going to have to break forum rule with this one as i have absolutly no idea what i should charge for this, would ideally like to sell it all as one, and as there are 2 perfectly decent period rims and one decent front hub up for sale i am looking for some fairly decent offers.

sorry for the crap photos and if i've missed something, any questions are welcome.

I have had this problem in the past and took a pair of stilsons to the block having managed to rip all the sprockets off. Its thuggery but it did work

hmm exactly, i just dont have access to the tools unfortunatly...

Why not give it to your LBS to remove? Will cost about £5-£10 max.
Then you'll have something you can sell, with a price.

They may even do it for free: AE Wilson in Peckham High Street SE15 took off an old freewheel of mine for nowt - and that was the first time I went there.

How many holes are the rims?

I'd prob be interested, but can't really recomend a price.

Hi
I would very much like to buy the front rim - I am rebuilding a front wheel for my mate's 1980s Peugeot and his 36 hole Module E 700c is bent. Will you sell the one rim please? I am not bothered about shiny, he and I do a lot of miles and use the bikes, would buy newer but prefer steel frames and the module E is good for keeping tyres on the rims in extreme conditions (cyclo cross, old tyres, flats etc) I am away in China (work, hell not fun) for 10 days but email me at simonduvalsmith@hotmail.com

Thanks

Oh, and I will get the block off the hub without damaging anything for you! Have had this problem a few times myself! i am in Holloway/Islington borders and also in West London.
