Pair of these but with slotted flanges and in 24h:

I was excited to find these as a 24h pair is rare and paid an over the odds £55. My intention was to build them onto px 82 and 101 rims (£200 the pair) and have a set up handbuilt race wheels without any branding, a deeper rear profile and £70 cheaper than the £399 for a new set. It was a great plan. Anyway a fellow forumenger offered me an alternative and I couldn't say no. I'm in Hammersmith, collection takes preference.

I asked this question last year and iirc the allocation didn't kick off until March when the track re-opened.

I bought some tubs off Tom a few weeks ago and it was a pleasure.

(bump)

Anyone got any tubular track wheels they want to offload? 4 spoke and disc would be ideal but deep rimmed spoked wheels would do the trick too. Cash waiting etc.

Actually, you're right, if I was going to up the budget (and the wait) I'd go for Mack over Royce. It seems that track hub manufacturers haven't realised that carbon rims are available in the 16-24 hole range most commonly. Perhaps the market is so small as to not be worth bothering with.

Very helpful, cheers! I'm tempted to go the Royce route but I've got a set of Novatecs on some Navigator wheels and I've been quite impressed.

Anyone got a source? Planet X have the front in stock but not the rear. The only ones I have been able to find are Sp!n and I'm pretty sure they are overpriced at £100.

But is it happening tomorrow? No-one with keys turned up last week. No criticism, I know you're volunteers.

Anyone got some deep carbon rims (88m) in 32h? I'd love to get these built up.

In your position I'd push the wheelbuilding, I spend far more on wheels than anything else. Perhaps look at what http://www.wheelsmith.co.uk/ does and see if you can offer a similar product. Chinese parts (Carbon rims, Novatec hubs) handbuilt in London but with some bling options as well (Royce, Chris King etc).

As title, I need some more carbon in my life.

60mm rim depth minimum, must be tubular and must be proper track hubs (not bothered about brand).

Dang.

If these had been tubs I would have been all over it.

These look awesome but I much prefer the Canyon branding without the '.com' bit. Check out the 2013 cf slx for how it can look.

Dang. Got anything like this in a tubular rim?

Oh, that sounds decent. You're right about the forecast though, nightmare.

How many people went for the Saturday chain gang / laps last week? I'm keen but it'll definitely be more fun with 10+.

I'm in for this.

I've never been before but reading through previous pages of the thread suggests there is a reasonably even split between fixed and geared.

Just FYI, the winter Saturday sessions are a steady 1.5 hr chain gang style session for intermediate and advanced riders. It's not going to be a carbon copy of the summer intermediate sessions.

This pleases me. I had hoped that there might be a chain gang this winter, beats getting covered with shite on the roads.

2nd on these if the above falls through.

Very nice buy for someone.

Cheers. I had no idea how long the Madison would take.

^ good question. Anyone?

Great selection of games there, you are obviously a discerning non-gamer.

Looks like there are plans to do a little Keirin at track league next Wednesday; the first time I did one was at Open Season in June and I learned a lot from just two races. Not least that 48x14 feels a little small behind the derney.

Now sold.
