• I want a wide 26 disc wheelset for an old cannondale I've converted into a monstercross machine. It currently has a narrow wheelset on there, of which the rear hub has seen better days. The narrow rims don't play great with the 2.2in tyres it's wearing.

    Just in case anyone has something skulking in the corner of a shed. Ideally after a cheap (less than £100) 26 disc wheelset. Rims must be black and at least 19mm internal, but ideally 20mm plus. Must also be QR front and rear.

    I'd take just rims if you have them (no more than about £30 for the pair) and ideally they'd be 28 hole.

    Also would consider just a 135mm rear disc hub provided it was cheap.

    My other option is to buy a pair of DT Swiss 533d rims at about £25 a pop and build them onto my current hubs, hence the relatively low budget.

    Long shot, but let me know.

  • I've got a Lefty fork and set of compatible wheels you can have for not much cash at all if you like!

  • Ok...tell me more!

    Currently got a pretty top end fatty ultra DLR which is working great now I've done the seals, but I'm always waiting for it to implode.

    Let me know what you got and how much we're talking.

  • Ok no problem, will dig it and them out, get some pics and DM you.

  • I have some 26in rims sat in my shed that I don't think I will ever build - yours if you cover the postage.

    I will forward some pictures when I can find them

  • Here is one of the fattys

  • Cool. Super chunky that one. Is it pair? 32 hole?

  • Yeah just one of those and 32 holes but I'm sure I have some others, will let you know when I dig them out

  • This one's not quite so chunky

  • Thanks for the pics. I think I'll pass. The Mavic is a tad too hefty and I would need to buy a new hub and spokes, and the Alex is too narrow.

    I've found a chap on Pink Bike who's got a set of Hope Pro2 laced to Stans Flow EX which I think I'm going to splash the cash on.

    @theflatboy - keep me posted on the lefty and the kind of price you're thinking. Would be good to know what model it is plus how well it's working/not working.

  • Oh yeah will do, will try to drop you a note tonight.
