General Disc Radness (formerly disc wheel valuation thread)

Gonna feel out the HED/Total-Fitness, as the HED-ProAM has crazy flex issues. Got 10 meters down the road this morning and turned back to put the Polish resin spok back on.

Gonna take it back before I consider filling the HED with expanding foam...!

Haven’t had a look at the other disc yet, but...

Who wants to buy the Zipp 3000 front trispoke? What’s it worth? @BigH any ideas?

Doubt i’ll use it. Might keep the Corima for posing. If anyone is super-light I could sell the disc rather than swap it too.

Depending on condition I would say around £200-300, haven’t seen one for sale in a while tho

Cool cool. Could only find one at £500 on ebay which seemed crazy.

If it’s not gonna score too much I can always keep it. Probably the difficulty is finding the right buyer.

Probably hasn’t seen use in a while either.

Just out of interest, what do FIR carbon 6 spokes and Mavic G3 (650) go for these days?

Fiiiiinally got around to taking back the HED-ProAM and grabbing this convertible freewheel clincher HED. So far so good.

After all of that, I realised the rubbing noise was probably the garmin speed/cadence sensor hitting the other wheel...!

Anyway, noisy freewheel and otherwise silky feel

I think I saw a fir 6 spoke sell for around £300 somewhere late last year, mavic 3g for around £200-350 depending on how well it was listed and if hipster tax was paid

Cheers BigH. Seller doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

the F.I.R 6 spokes had a fragile section above the valve hole circle, if its missing i'd factor that in.

Yes looking at pics it seems to be incredibly thin by design.

I'm building up a lo pro over the winter to race a few TT's on next year.
The Chesini frame I have has 126mm rear spacing. Did anyone make a disc with a hub that size back in the mid 80's?

My HED is 126mm. Any of the Russian discs with solid axles (Juna etc) can be spaced to whatever you want.

Cheers Jonny. I'll get looking

So what will a FIR disc rush me for? (Presuming I can find one)

Is anyone looking for a road clincher disc? I've got a Spengle Aura disc that I need to get rid of. Photos to come tomorrow in natural daylight or can try get some tonight if anyones interested.

Interested, PMed

Still got this for sale.. I've been told its 10 speed. If anyone happens to be interested I will do them a good price for cash on collection.

Any track riders seeking a front disc, I have a navigator front disc wheel for sale (£400):

Navigator front track disc wheel in good condition with Dugast tub (which probably still has a few rides left in it).

I don't want to post this, so collection from Bristol area, would be happy to drive a little distance for a little fuel money.

I have a rear hed track disc wheel which has a surly fixer, good for up to 130mm drop outs

It’s ratty Russian disc weather

^ Perfect, a picture of my disc for reference.

I need a recommendation for a new crackpipe / valve adaptor. See on that disc it's a bit tight. I've got a Topeak one and it's quite frankly shit. It has an internal valve which really hinders the flow and gives a terrible pressure reading, the stem is so smooth and skinny the pump head forces itself off at pressure so I have to put a bit of heatshrink onto it to make it grip properly, you lose a load of pressure when undoing it, I have to force it off the end of the valve. Today it unscrewed the valve core with itself and mangled it on the way out.

I seem to remember this was better than the original adapter I had - though I can't remember what that one was.

Talk to me about a better one! Zipp, BBB and HemeraPhit all look slimmer.

Though it makes for interesting pressure readings, my most successful disc/spok solution has remained one of those cloth-covered bendy strap adapter things, with a schrader-presta adapter when I can’t find the presta one. Not ideal but when pumping I can see the peak of the pressure gauge before it drops again.

Anyone in need of a 700c Front Fluidisk russian kevlar wheel? excellent condition, no creases or damage
