Hi have a selection of wheels to get rid of as I have:
s1155.photobucket.com/user/Carl_Statham/library/?view=recent&page=1
1. DCR Wheels - Made by DCR around three years ago. They have been serviced every six months. So new set of bearings recently:
- Sapim ray spokes (three have been replaced when broken)
- Novatec LW hubs, as above newly replaced bearings (original skewers included)
- Tyres are very new Rubino Pro 25mm, the old style
- H Plus Rims they are about three months old so have a good season or so. I do about 7,000km a year and these rims last a summer and a winter. They are the second rims on the build
- Cassette is not included, but it is a Campag freehub, as usual, easy to replace with a Shimano
Price = £170 + pp
2. Roval Alpanista's - The ultra-light wheel. These were once owned by the ex-pro David Lloyd and are probably a good 8 years old. But used purely for what they are designed for. Very mountainous dry outings. The rims are worn, but still break well and at a shade over 1kg they are a hill climb special or a weight weenies dream.
- They are serviced once a year as they see very limited outings
- Tubs taped on with virtually brand new Vittoria Corsa CX 25mm
- Very nice padded bag
- Skewers. I have the original, plus an uber light pair of titanium skewers which I have used a lot. They need to be very very tight otherwise you will, like all Ti skewers, have a squeak that'll have you thinking your bottom bracket is going. But hey we are talking 100g saving here!
- Campag freehub, but standard DT Swiss affair so easily swappable
Price = £300
3. Mavic Aksium - Came with my CAAD12 and used for commuting for about 9 months. Good steady wheels is all I can say. But as I am racing my CAD12 now they are replaced.
- Serviced twice
- Some kerb scratching of the stickers
- Come with original skewers
- Original Shimano Ultegra centre lock discs attached
- Rubino Pro Tech 25mm attached probably at half life
Price - £70
4. Continental Pro Ltd 25mm Tubs x 2
Yep they are the ones that are only available for the pro teams. I bought them from a guy who does Tub repairs and never got round to using them on the Alpanista's. Basically, they are almost brand new and have no residue glue from fitting on them. £55 the pair Sold on ebay for £186 yeeee haaaaa
5. Tufo Tub Tape - 2 boxes £5
6. TRP R960 CNC Red Alloy Superlight Rim-brakes
OK long shot here. These came off the same ex-pro hill climbing bike I bought. Owned by David Lloyd. They are 120g with pads each. So for weight weenies, these are it. store.pedalrevolution.co.uk/16835/products/trp-r960-cnc-road-brake-calipers--red.aspx £150 the pair with two sets of pad holders one with carbon swiss stops the other with alloy swiss stops.
