For Sale: Dura Ace 7800 to Open Pro CD

150 miles from new, I had them built and then never used them.

£200, including skewers but no tyres or cassette.

This wheelset has the Titanium freehub body with the deeper splines- 10 speed Shimano cassettes only.

mmmmm

great wheelset! whats the weight?

You're never going to believe this, but I don't know.

I'll weigh them tonight, short answer is "quite light".

bargain. If these were Campag I would bit your hand off

Heh, I tried putting a converter cassette on these (10 speed Campag spacing with a Shimano spline) and it wouldn't go on due to the freehub body design.

They are definitely Shimano only I am afraid.

As to the bargain part- I ended up paying around £400 for these, but them's the breaks.

Awesome high mileage wheels for some one- who built them???

Charco built them, then Brixton Cycles gave them a fine tune.

Just as I thought my bike purchases had finally reached a plateau.....

By being Shimano only, surely then SRAM cannot be compatible?

SRAM/Shimano splines are the same.

Sorry, Sam.

Sam, you might be ok- these hubs came (at first) with an alluminium freehub body to save weight.

In order that the cassette not chew the splines up Shimano made them double height to increase the contact area between sprocket and freehub body.

This means that the older nine speed cassettes won't fit as the relief in the sprocket is not cut deep enough to go over the spline.

I've never used a SRAM cassette, so don't know if they cut the reliefs to the same depth as 9 speed Shimano (won't work) or 10 speed Shimano (will work).

The freehub body is brand new, and titanium- the hubs should probably be designated 7850 now due to the freehub body upgrade/change.

You could of course use a Dura Ace cassette on these- I have a spare 12-25 7800 cassette I'll throw in, gratis, it is worn but should get you going.

To sum up= SRAM cassette might not work, needs testing.

However, I'll include a DA cassette, which will work with your Force setup.

The 7800 hubs were only 10-speed and only Shimano compatible. Shimano saw the error of it's ways (lost customers) and the 7850 went back to the older Ti freehub body design so it should accept a 10-speed SRAM cassette .. although I'd take the Dura-Ace cassette !

Bother!

Now it will play on my mind. Decent wheels from a decent bloke.

Anyone want to buy some 2009 Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLRs, in awesome condition for £450? Burls won't look quite so cool, but then that's the point.

12-25!!! I am a wimp sir and demand at least a 27!

You are welcome to try them out, see how you get on with them/how they look on the Burls?

They are sat in wheelbags in my workshop* currently.

pics of the cosmics please Sam... I put the advertised ~150 miles on these and they were lovely.

I've seen the Cosmics in person, they looked perfect to me.

Hmmmm, cosmics...

They make a better noise than my c50s innit.

Hi, just seen this and wanted to check if they are still for sale. If so would you be willing to post them to Bath?

Thanks

Just waiting to see if Biaritz would like these, if he passes then I will certainly look at posting them to bath.

Want. Can't afford.
