Wanted: Urgent! 700c fixed rear. West London

Posted on
  • Hi. I'm in brentford currently. and my mate fucked my rear wheel.
    so has anyone got one i could buy please just so i can get home.
    for roughly £50 (or more i could pay you at wests???)
    also i havnt got a lock ring (as the tread on my other one is fucked)
    please let me know if you have one
    cheers

  • What happened?

  • my 18 stone mate was riding it, and hit a kerb then tried to skid(well just stop his legs) and the lockring thread is now nonexistant and the whole wheel is buckled.
    i found a shop which have a halo rear in stock but i doesnt have £100 on me

  • Leave it there and get the Tube home? Get your mate to find one?

  • Was that your Create wheel? Not surprised it broke!

    Good luck sorting something out.

  • well its him whos paying for it.
    but i dont do buses or trains. as a rule.
    so if i can id like to get one today
    otherwise im fucked for the week

  • It's not really urgent if you "don't do buses or trains".

  • Looks like you're sleeping at your mate's for a while then..

    I have a spare Powertap fixed.. yours for £450. :)

  • Ha.

  • Have you not tried the bike shop that is in Brentford? Right there on the High St. Won't be great, but they'll get you going. Otherwise... a walk up to Brentford train station is how you're getting home.

  • i have a spare rear wheel in ealing common. with 16t freewheel atm, i recently regreased the hub and replaced the bb's but still not running so smooth you can have for 40 if your in real need.

  • Can you at least straighten it enough to allow it to rotate in the frame?

    Sorry to hear about this. You should be able to walk home.

  • so i managed to true the wheel enough so i can ride it, and i switched it to a freewheel
    but my front brake is barely working. so if i canny find anything i rekcon i8 can get home on a freewheel using the feet as brakes. but ideally id still ilke a fixed. so i dont have to put on different bars, and a rear brake etc.
    and whizz bike on the highstreet were useful but they were the the ones who had the halo rear in stock. but still £100 too much for moi (well for today)

  • Crumb - I have a back wheel you can borrow. Phone number on the thread. Gizza bell.

  • You can have a my Velocity X IRO wheel set for £110.
    PM me if interested.

  • sorted!!! cheers chris and julia
