WTB: 700c rim brake wheelset with 135mm or 130mm easily convertible rear

desperate for sub £150 wheels for a trek multitrack build. i know 135mm is hen's teeth so realistically with a 130mm rear hub that could be converted with end caps (hope, dt swiss etc) or with a longer axle (shimano etc). preferably something wider than vintage racing internal. not fussy on colour or condition as long as they run. thanks.

ebay item 203187597732 new rear with a 135mm FH RM70 hub on a 700C rim for £48 posted, if you use the code Jan10 you'll get it for £44 posted

thanks. this is a good shout in principle, but as the recipient rider is small in size, the 1.3kg weight for the rear only is a bit of a push.

I have a set of cheap Aksiums, but they are 130 oln, not sure about converting?

I have some Mavic MA3 on Shimano Tiagra hubs if they’re of interest? T

seems to to be a bit difficult to convert, i'm afraid.

thanks for offering. do you have a photo of the rear hub showing the axle type?

I can’t get to them in daylight hours ‘till Saturday. I’ll get some pics then if that’s ok? T

yes, that's fine. no rush from my side.

Sent you a dm with some more details.

@Tadpole I might be interested in those if @launchpadboi isn't.

that weight is including the skewer BTW so take another 120+g off that. Even to something like a 32 spoke Dura Ace 7700/Open Pro it's only c.250g heavier, is that really going to make any real world difference even if they are lifting the bike up? The Tiagra/MA3 offered will be circa 1100g WITHOUT a skewer.
Just so you have a weight comparison to the one I linked to.
good luck

you're welcome to have them as they didn't entirely fit my brief.

Did you get sorted? I have a set of barely used MAVIC Aksium S wheels and MAVIC Aksion 25c tyres..

negotiating for a pair atm, but not set in stone yet. is the rear 135mm? if not what's the hub?

Just re-read the thread, are you after track wheels? Mine are standard road wheels.. yes back is 135mm QR..

standard rim brake road wheels are 130mm, are you sure they’re 135mm?

track wheels are 120mm. i’m after rim brake gravel/touring wheels with old mtb/modern disc brake gravel rear spacing (135mm). these aren’t really readily available in 700c.

I've just checked and these are 130mm I think. Just removed from a cube peleton. Wheels are like new with very limited use..

Those calipers look like they're showing 130mm (or 131ish).

looks like they have mavic hubs, which there aren't really axle conversion kits for. this deems them irrelevant for this thread.

Yeah realised this.. need new batteries.. lol
