Wanted; old/turbo level Shimano rear wheel, giving bike away

[Deleted]

I'm giving my old commuter bike away to a local charity, but need the current rear wheel for a temporary build as it's relatively new.

Does anyone have a Shimano rear wheel that is lurking about unused that they wouldn't mind giving to a charity? 
My bike needs a small bit of servicing, the charity that I've got in mind don't mind doing the basics, and I think train people to do them too, so an untrue wheel (but truable) wouldn't be a issue.


Obviously I'd be happy to drive over to get from the crystal palace locality.

I have an old shimano rear that I barely use for the turbo, however I will caveat this with the fact that the braking surface is pretty worn. You're more than welcome to it, but if so, I would recommend they get it checked out before putting it on a bike

cheers nathan,
the charity i have in mind gives bikes to unemployed people to help them seek work and then get there when they get employment.
Would you say it's rideable for a month or so? That's how long I plan to keep the wheels whilst i (hopefully) have a set built. I can then donate the commuter wheelset to them too

Potentially. I think as long as they take it easy then it should be ok.

I work in denmark hill - Camberwell - so I can bring it to work this week if you can pick it up from there?

I've got a standard office job in the city, is there any chance you're around on the weekend? I can drive over at your convenience sat or sun?
If not, I've got next Friday off (mainly to move house) but sure I can work something in.

I'm unfortunately working on the weekend, however that would still be in Denmark hill. I could bring it to work on Saturday for you to collect?

cheers Nathan, I've pm'd you.
