Wanted: Touring wheelset - 700c 36h 130mm

Posted on
  • Afternoon folks! Having just sorted out a frame for touring I have realised that my current wheelset is not going to be man enough for an upcoming fully laden trek in the Andes...

    So what do you lovely bikers have that might float my boat? Needs to be in good condition and 130mm spacing 700c capable of running 9-speed kit and tyres 32mm plus.

    Cheers! Zack

  • definately 36h?
    may have a brand new Deore XT inside a 32h Mavic A319 (rear).

  • Going to be carrying 2 months worth of survival gear (that's a LOT) of power bars so 36h is a minimum...

  • £163 gets you a brand new pair of handbuilt wheels from Richard at byercycles..he really makes a cracking pair of wheels, great rep from around the country and just up the road from myself.

  • 36h, Deore XT, A319, £120. boosh.

    It's not in stock and the OP wants 130mm rear axle, excellent prices from rosebikes for loads of stuff even taking the extra postage into account

  • ^ sheeeet, shame cos they are a good deal.

    i picked up this pair:

    if they come back in stock it may be worth getting your dropouts pulled.

    Mr Bump's link looks good.

    if money isn't an option ultegra+ or phil wood (do touring 130mm ones) would work. 105 would give you less confidence. the problem with all is finding them built on wide enough rims, so there's the build cost too.

  • Thanks for all your helps folks! I've ended up with some new A319s on Tiagra hubs for an absolute steal. Just took some hunting! Last few bits needed but that's in another wanted add as I'm closing this one.
