For Sale: Mavic ellipse rear wheel

i've managed to bugger the threads pretty much on both sides of this wheel.

dont ask me how..

so got a mavix ellipse in good condition.. rim and spoke wise :), hub would need replacing or someone with magic hands to fix.
bought the wheel last summer, not ridden it that much if i'm honest, once or twice a week if that plus a stretch of 4 months where it didnt get ridden at all.

£60 - can meet in london or collect in wanstead e11.

real shame as these wheels are the shit.

ohh I have just ordered a new one myself. Still I don't fancy messing around with the hub on an old one. What did you do to the hub then?

pic of the hub available?

i'll post pics. and will accept offers on this.

mikec.
i dont really know what happened.. for 6 months it ran perfectly.. hardly ridden, then got back from travelling and it started to slip. i then tried tightening it... but must have buggered one side, tried it on the other and fucked it again. looked at the lockring and it was a little bent.

offers on this accepted.
rim and spokes are in perfect condition, just the hub which needs replacing/repairing.

best pics i could get of the hub.

ps - rim and hub have been de-stickered.

hard to tell, but looks like main threads are still fine, only lock ring threads damaged. is this the case?

(Use the macro function on your camera)

yep.
only lockring ring threads damaged.

will try the macro feature d600 ta.

any takers for £30?

That wheel is a bargain for someone riding ss only.

Bargain I tell you's

or someone riding only on the track

or someone who only rides forwards

or someone riding only on the track

Lockring threads are wrecked, so....

...it's ideal for the track, as a lot of track riders ride without a lock ring.

just a general question, how did they hold up(riding wise).
just i was thinking about getting some when i build my winter bike.

Ah, I didn't know that (obviously!)

I'm a fat fuck, and rode mine for a month or so.... great wheels - stiff and strong.

had the same problem - stripped both lockring threads.
went and bought some industrial alternative to locktite.
glued one cog and a lockring. probably forever.

cheers :)

it was fine for about 8 months...
i bought another one as i liked it so much. just need to be a bit more careful when replacing/tightening.. plus i use a .5mm spacer now which seems to be the way forward.

so. any takers for £30?

This is what I'd do... In fact would have done if I hadn't just got a Royce wheelset.

it's a great price, just buy a decent cog with a sencible tooth count, ride it into the ground and youve got an awesome deal. Another classic LFgss bargin.

Is this still avalible ? I could meet up in wanstead or leytonstone
