Ive been using the F'ing Search for the last half hour!!! I read every thread with spokes in the title, prehaps you should take a chill pill dude.

Planning on building myself up a set of nice wheels for my good fixie. Probably DA high flange hubs and CXP33's or the similar and aero speed spokes. Should I go for 32 or 36 spokes though? Im not very heavy, say 12 stone, but the roads I ride on are pretty badly surfaced with no real choice of a smooth line.

Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to each apart from the obvious weight/stiffness ones?

CXP 14s are a pleasure to build as well. Ahhh, eyelets are so nice after building DVs.

14's are eyeleted? Didnt think they were!

Just how rare/desirable are they now?

What is the going rate for a pair if I can find them?

Ive got a couple of wheels for sale, now surplus to requirements.

Rear silver Open Pro 32h built onto a System EX flip/flop hub (120mm), 3x DT Swiss spokes. Runs arrow straight, bearings recently replaced. Rim has been braked on. New track nuts included.
£40 collected from Reading, or will post at cost.

Front Mavic MA3 36h build onto some vintage high flange french hub. The bearings are not the best, nor are the axle threads unfortunately. The hub is quite nice looking though, but a little dull due to its age. Built radial again with DT Swiss spokes. Runs true.
£20 collected again from Reading, or will post.

This was on ebay recently Im sure!

I used http://lenni.info/edd/

Ive not seen that one before, even better than the DT one it seems!

Cheers.

Is it definately 60mm and not 66mm? The DT calculator lists the front one as 66?!

Cheers Rusty

Can someone give me the pcd and flange width for a pair of DA 7600 high flange hubs please?

Thanks

Radius - Any details on the length of this please? Im interested if the original chap doesnt want this.

Ta

Will you post these?

Im interested, but am worried about any post crash damage. Have they had much use since?

interested, i'll drop you a pm quickly

I have one of these going spare;

mine is a little worse for wear, it looks like it has been 'polished' with some coarse sand paper. It has no graphics on it any more. It is perfectly functional however and would polish up fine. Its 120mm long, 26mm clamp. 1" quill

£7 posted by paypal if interested.

Did these sell?

Spotted someone riding a nice looking fixed bike with a black frame and narrow riser bars at 7.45 this morning on Reading high street.

I was walking past John Lewis. You were following some chap on a nice geared carbon Giant.

Anyone on here?

= shite looking post

Ive got a black Thomson in 26.8mm, 330mm length, and I want a silver one (same dimentions).

Anyone have one and want to swap? Mine is in very good condition.

10 points to that man!

(a further 50 to be awarded upon a broken limb being dished out to a thief)

I may be able to sort you out a post. How much of a rush are you in?

Who ever buy's this, fancy a straight swap for a near perfect condition black thomson in 330mm 26.8 also?

Ive been looking for a 54cm flyer for ages!! Till about a week ago in fact when I gave up my hunt and bought my condor instead.

I would have definately taken this off you.

That gear looks unusably small!

Not so loud as to scare me please!!

This would be my belt driven steed of choice. Overall I think belt drives are a great idea, real innovation where most would not even considder that a change was needed.

I would fit one to my Rohloff equiped bike, but you need an opening into the rear triangle to fit the belt through, you cant break it like a chain.
