For Sale: Zipp Carbon track wheels

** I have some surplus track wheels for sale.

First are a pair of Zipp wheels,

Rear disc and front 55mm deep section 24 spoke wheel.

The rear Zipp is a 900 series carbon disc spaced for 120mm rear drop outs with allen key bolts. It takes standard Dura Ace fixed cog for 42mm chain line and if so inclined you can fit a a screw on freewheel on the other side of the wheel.
New bearings have just been fitted to this wheel as one of the older ones was getting a bit rough, it now spins almost forever .

It has been well used but not abused and has one small superficial ding that has been filed properly with carbon / epoxy resin.

This wheel has a new Continental Tempo tubular fitted.

The front is a Zipp 440 55mm deep carbon rim with 24 bladed spoke on a Zipp carbon barreled hub.

It comes with a new Vittoria CS Pista tubular fitted .

The front weighs 1048grammes and the rear is 1282 with tyres and 10 bar pressure in them

The wheels come with padded Zipp wheel bags.

They would be good hard track race wheels or indoor TL race wheels.

Ready to race on right out of the bags for GBP 550 delivered to the Velodrome !

Awesome deal, wish I had the cash :(

Hmm, it's always tricky this , but do you think they are too cheap ?

I dunno, I'd have said £300-400 for the disc and £2-300 for the front depending on condition n

But then again they are a bit niche, i.e. really only suitable for track or fixed TTing. Having said that I'm sure someone would want to put them on a leader and ponce around the city :)

WANT.
Cracking price, have a bump.

Dammit - I've been sussed out

Why do things like these always come along when I'm broke?!

Goddammit buying a corima disc a month ago...

If you can stick an advert up at manchester or newport someone will buy them. I'd say price is a bit low really but the trouble is finding someone who is looking to buy a disc.

Dibs - very very keen

Looks like these wheels have a new home subject to payment and donation to the forum, thanks for all the interest.

Pretty sure I sold these to you for £450 back in 2011. http://www.lfgss.com/thread67358.html

Tidy profit....

Look from your thread that you sold a rear disc for £450, and this sale thread is for a rear disc and a front deep section for £550?

Or was your thread for both front and rear also?

Sold the pair for £450.
I was originally just selling the disc, but allister asked if he could buy the pair.

So perhaps you should have asked a bit more for them then.

Things are worth what people will pay for them.

bargain!!!

Profit!

Bobby, you should never have sold these mate :)

Loss actually ..... £ 83

Valid discussion, some back ground might be interesting….. it is a forum after all !

I am involved with quite a few track riders and have been so over a long time.
I have a club slush fund that I use to buy used equipment for the club and other riders use.
This lets me buy things when they come up at a good price with out having to think about raising cash, can I afford, can Lulu ask her dad for the money and will the seller keep it till next month and all that stuff .

This allows them to use decent kit appropriate to their level and experience with out having to worry about buying it or trashing it when it's loaned out. For riders that want to buy the kit I have obtained there is a "buy back scheme" which involves them getting it at the price I paid for it on the condition that when they no longer need it or are using it I get first option to "buy it back " for the club equipment inventory. Its a good system and has worked well for the last 20 years or so .

Looking through the Kit list these wheels have an interesting entry :

Bought in June 2011 £450 plus postage
Used by JD , DM, CW, PT , LH EB and club spares

Scottish track champs@MSC , Herne Hill Derny champs, Dudley GP,
Alkmaar track meeting , Colarado ( Spares) Scottish track champs@GLA

Since then the wheels have had :
New rear Zipp allen bolt caps to replace to ones "modified"by Angle grinder £ 12
New front and rear bearings and professional fitting £ 30 ( done by D.M. )
Two Bladed spoke replacements ( frozen nipple when tightened and trued ) £ 6
New Zipp Decals £12

New Tyres fitted :
Vittoria Pista CS £ 33
Conti Tempo 22 £ 50
Properly glued on with 3 + 1 coats of Mastic one cement £ 20

£163 costs

So the cost of ownership since june 2011 is £ 613

Selling them for £ 550 and LFGSS Forum donation £20 = a loss of £ 83

They are good wheels , I would sell them to some one in ur club or another rider I knew, but they are all waiting for the next sets !

Fair enough. I just seem to remember you haggling me down a bit to £450, so seemed out of line to be asking for £100 more after 18 months use.

Glad to see they have been put to good use.
