For sale : Pair of Planet X track hubs. 32h. Black. Rear is double fixed. Never used. Never built.

I bought these to build up new wheels but need funds to replace a broken frame instead so am not going to build them up.

£40 for the pair plus postage.

PMed the above

Are the sizes the top tube measurement or seat tube? centre to centre or centre to top?

I know you mentioned they're square.. but square as in 56ctc seat tube is 56 top tube ctc? Or 56 ctc top tube is square to 56ctt seat tube?

Final price drop to £185 posted.. before they go on *bay.

bump for offers?

After a lot of people being interested elsewhere and then going silent one after another these are now back up for sale here. Price drop too but can no longer do the re-rimming as it seems to be too complicated for people to want to buy a rim and get it sent to me up front to do the work. Also fairly short on time at the moment.

So, new price of £200 now including postage to the UK.

PM if interested. Thanks.

Concentrate on the cross.

is this a Jesus thing?

Now removed from sale here. For sale elsewhere. Thanks.

Had interest from a couple of people on these but nothing solid and no dibs yet. Going to leave them here for a couple more days then I'll remove them to advertise elsewhere.

Get in touch or dibs if you are serious about wanting them. Thanks.

In response to questions via pm.

Please note: I am happy to re-rim the back wheel and am not charging extra to do this. I am an accomplished wheel builder and have built lots of wheels professionally for many happy customers in my daytime work. The buyer just needs to buy the replacement rim. If you get this work done yourself by a local shop after buying the wheels they are likely to charge you £30 or more to do it.

I would prefer the buyer bought the rim in advance though as I do not have the funds to do this up front, lack of money being part of the reason for selling the wheels.

Thanks.

Bit of info about rim width and why 23mm rims matched with 23mm tyres can be beneficial.

http://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Implications_of_Rim_Width_2803.html

Front and rear Velocity A23 rims on Strada hubs laced with DT Swiss spokes. 24 DT Revolution spokes radially laced on the front and 28 DT Competition spokes double cross laced on the back. Velocity Velo plugs fitted instead of rim tape.

Front wheel : 670g

Rear wheel : 850g

23mm rim width clinchers to fit 23mm+ tyres.

Amazingly responsive and light. Very comfortable to ride. 10 speed Shimano splined freehub.

New cartridge bearings recently fitted including upgraded SKF cartridge in the rear DS.

Caveats : The rear rim is worn and could do with re-rimming. I am happy to re-rim it if someone provides the A23 replacement rim. I’ve knocked £50 off the price I want for them to account for this. Also there are a few marks on one side of the front hub where I had to remove a bearing cartridge that came apart. Nothing that affects running though. This is visible in on e of the photos below. There are a few indents on the freehub body from a couple of the sprockets also visible in one of the photos below. This is fairly normal and again doesn't affect the function of the hub. Other than that they are in good condition with new smooth bearings.

These wheels built up by Strada Wheels sell for £295, and now they use the cheaper slightly heavier Novatec hubs. When they were building them up with their own lightweight Strada hubs (like the ones I’m selling) they were about £400.

Please note these were not built by Strada. I built and maintained them myself and they have had under a year of use (on a leisure riding bike, not a commuter).

See http://www.stradawheels.co.uk/shop/velocity-a23-wheelset/

and

for info about the rims and hubs.

Selling for £220 plus postage for the set. Collection /viewing welcome in Bristol. Buyer is also welcome to arrange their own courier.

PM if interested.

Thanks, Adam

That article is also seems confused, in that it states that drivers want cyclists to insure their bicycles. I'm sure that the drivers questioned actually wanted cyclists to carry 3rd party insurance in case they cause damage to drivers' cars, not to have their bikes insured against theft etc.

Does anyone know where the money for pavements that run alongside roads come from? Clue: the same place that the money for the roads they run alongside comes from.

Mandatory tax and tax discs for pedestrians please.

Also according to statistics drivers would benefit greatly from wearing helmets.

Mandatory helmets for drivers please.

My Mum keeps slipping down the steps in her garden when she's out gardening. Last time she broke her arm.

Mandatory elbow pads for my Mum please.

A sprung Brooks saddle and that would be perfect.
