Pair of 26 x 1 3/8” Single Speed Wheels

Posted on
  • What have you got? Cheap and nice for an '70's BSA rescue.

  • Got a pair - you'll need to polish them up tho.

  • Likewise. Got a tatty pair WITH COASTER BRAKE.

  • Nice. Cheers both. Don't mind a bit of polishing. So to speak. Pics? Prices?

  • There's a seller on eBay does these.

    Think they do singlespeed freewheel and coaster.

    Bout £60 a set last I looked I think.

  • Realised I have another set, not the one I had on mind, but in better cosmetic condition. Big freewheel tho. The other set got covered in paint from the shed, so I'll need to wipe it down before uploading a photo.

  • Nicey but pricy! Best new set price I could find was 48£ from bankruptbikes (! Me neither).

  • Dynamotastic front hub! Be keen to see the others as well.
    Prices anyone, might need posting (if that's a ball ache do say) or may be able to collect. Don't live in The London but the bike will be once it's done.

  • £40 posted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26x1-3-8-Single-speed-Wheels-Rear-Front-Wheelset-Vintage-Bicycle-Bike-/352025038637?var=&hash=item51f653cf2d:m:myFa2f4O2PDAq8yW4oCinrg

    I bought a 26 x 1 3/8 coaster rear only recently. I think it was from Taylors wheels who although sounding uqite British, are actually German. Worked out cheaper for me to buy a complete wheel than to buy a rim and spokes and build a new wheel with the hub from my old wheel.

  • Wow. That's pretty good value.

  • @user48602 and @vilms5000, any prices on yours before I head to fleabay? Rather not pay 40£ when the bike only cost 20£! Plus spend the money with nice people here...

  • Sorry. I'll upload pics shortly. Message me re. Bankrupt Bikes and those wheelsets if that's where you're headed.
    I was going to suggest you taking these off my hands for a forum donation?

  • The wheels are in Brighton at the moment. Scuse poor iPhone pics...

    ::edit:: alu rims btw

  • 2nd dibs if not taken please

  • Perfect, will PM now.

  • Whoa, hang on, been offered a what looks like a set foc by my lad (emailed a skip-bike find by all accounts). Sorry @vilms5000 to dick around. @littleK, your call...

  • No problem! Skip finds > best find.
    @littleK all yours. Forum donation at your discretion and, ideally, pick up from Brighton. Otherwise: I'll be headed back to Tooting Thurs/Fri this week with a stop off at East Croydon. Happy to tote these that far.

  • Cheers @vilms5000
    Will post a pic when I get them, hope they're reasonably true (I know, gift-horses, etc.)
    My last find was a complete late '90's Gary Fisher mb, bit tatty but all there: now running around in the West Country with happy son No.2...

  • Sorry @vilms5000 will have to miss out on these too much distance and not enough time but very much appreciate the offer thanks k

  • No problem! Reckon this one's done @richardshill ?

  • Well... am waiting for skip-find pics from up North! But if you can find yours a good home then all good :-) Don't bin 'em if you're tempted to?

  • Ah. Okay. I'll relocate these to London and stick them in the shed. They'll be landfill otherwise.

  • Good plan (hate landfill, such a waste) ans phone-call report didn't sound too promising, talk of 'seized-up' but will wait for a skype inspection.
