Can anyone shed any more light on this? Does threaded imply that it is fixed?

Anyone actually bought one?

Thanks

I know this is a popular one, but I thought it was worth an ask before I get ripped off on Ebay, or end up buying a crappy one from a shop....

Looking for a 700c rear with a fixed hub....has to be true and run pretty well, but not looking for something too special. I have a Mavic Open Pro rim on the front which I love, but it's looking unrealistic that I will be able to afford to match it.

All offers appreciated

Cheers!

Pm on it's way cheesecake. Tho it depends on what your definition of grotty is...

Thanks for the offer 50/14, but I need to get some thing more permanent.

This is a desperate plea for someone with an old 700c front wheel that they want to get rid of...

I have managed to replace the rear, but been looking for a new front for a few weeks now and getting a bit more desperate with a long ride looming on Sunday...

Have a tyre (700 x 23) and inner tube so just looking for the wheel... any old steel wheel that runs true would be great

Anywhere in London - can come collect 2mo

Thanks in advance!!

Also if anyone has any MKS toe clips they want rid of those would prove very handy, thanks :)

I am in need of a pedal wrench 2mo...I cant get one of my pedals off and I am cycling to canterbury on sunday.

Preferably west london (fulham) but can travel if necessary....

Thanks,

Graham

Might be standard but it pretty expensive when they wont guarentee they can fix it and they insist that if they can't you buy a new wheel for £40 that really wont fit they style of the bike etc. I think you get the idea...

My long term plan is to convert it to fixed but....and some people might think this is ridiculous...I am doing a 40km road race (a part of a triathlon for charity) in June and I think it'd be great to do it on a vintage bike...yeah I'm an idiot! Besides it's looking pretty unrealistic at the moment

It does sound like it might be the cones... do you think this is something I should attempt myself? Or do I really need these cone spanners?

But I think you might be right stonster...what do you think I need to be spending to replace wheels? Any suggestions?

That would certainly be great if someone on here can fix in exchange for a beer!!

I had another look this morning....certainly isnt that bad that you would be able to see the buckle visably in pics pajamas...

More worringly is that there is a lot of play on the rear wheel, ie you can move it side to side about a cm...

As I said before I am concerned that the bike is still not going to be very smooth...do I need to be thinking about new hubs/new wheels?

Thanks!

Hi all... I recently purchased a 1980s Raleigh road bike know as 'The winner' from ebay, be nice! Was a mission getting it shipped and I was very excited when it eventually arrived, but...

The listing wasnt very clear so didnt know the model etc, or what I was getting but thought I'd take a punt...turns out it's not that great..

I still think it looks alright and would like to salvage something out of it so thought I'd turn to the people of fgss to help me get it up and running. I want to try and keep things cheap as guessing it's never going to be worth anything, but would be nice to give it some life on the cheap

I have taken to it with the wire wool and it is now rust free, but still have some major problems

First things first the rear wheel is fairly buckled...still turns, but pretty horrible to ride. Do people recommend I try and fix this, or see if I can blag a replacement wheel on here? Took it to a local bike shop, they said it might be fixable as the spokes are pretty loose, but after 5mins in there I realised no way I could trust these guys with my bike (wanted £18 and if they couldnt fix it were going to force me to buy a new wheel!!)... Any advice very welcome

Secondly what would bring about the best improvement as I think even once the rear wheel is sorted it will still feel like riding through treacle, or into a gale...

OK will leave it there...thanks for reading!!
