Hello
I bought this a number of years ago on the forum for a fiver if I seem to remember correctly.
The wheel has since been left unused.
Regarding the condition, it has a single sided fixed Miche Primato hub. I may have an 18t cog to go with it. The rim was originally pink but has been sprayed black and scratched through by the previous owner. It needs 2 new spokes.Jake

Sorry DancefloorTerrorist, didn't get your post notification e-mailed to me, . I don't ride track so I don't go anywhere near Herne Hill, prepared to go to a tube station around west, the spoke pattern is easy I guess to work out once one looks at the remaining spokes but building it and getting it true could be a tough job, if you don't want it I think I'll bin it. I really don't think it'll be worth the postage imelos8470 there's no guarantee its even roadworthy and I don't want you to get ripped off (look at my diplomatic sympathy). Apologies again for my tardiness.

Hello,
I have a Xero Lite Xr-2, 16 hole, black, front wheel that I acquired many moons ago to give away, these wheels are reportedly quite decent for a budget training road wheel (if the rider is fairly light) they tend to flex under heavy weight, I would know, and they have a disappointingly frequent knack of falling apart (according to some forums, though the only comments and reviews were highly in favour as they never seemed to go out of true despite the low spoke count and flexing, I can vouch for this, or an anecdote of utmost regret at purchasing them as they were too heavy) It needs about 10 black 289mm DT Swiss Champion spokes for it be roadworthy again. I only found out recently that the company would take it back and replace it/rebuild it for you but it is too late now and I have no intention of doing that, I was going to rebuild it and give it away but because of the silly spoke pattern - crows foot or something, my lacklustre knowledge of wheel building, not being bothered and the fact that all my local bike shops never seem to have the required spokes in the colour or the length necessary, I thought I'd give it away or bin it. Here is to hoping that it'd be useful for the skewer or the rim, the latter has barely been braked on so it might be good and I don't think its bent, just severely out of true due to the inconsistent tension.
