Hi All;
Due to some incorrect choices; I find myself with some wheels to sell. I am currently in China, and have time at the moment to post the information. I can have my wife take some pictures if you are interested.
The above prices do NOT include shipping.
The 26" wheel was built up when we were considering purchasing a Mongoose AL Wanderer Tandem. After working out the upgrade costs, we found the Trek T50, and decided that was a much better deal. This wheel is a perfect upgrade for a Wanderer; or a Clyde's solo bike.
The 650c wheels were a mistake for my SR Sierra Sport - http://forums.bikeride.com/thread-3036.html After riding the Trek solo with 23mm wide tires that the previous owner installed; I decided that they are not for me. Unfortunately; I could not find 28mm wide tires to fit.
The 27" wheels were purchased last year for my World Tourist. They are low end; quick release on the front, bolt on at the rear. It was long before I had a spoke failure, then another. I found some vintage Suze-Araya 36H/40H sealed bearing wheels on ebay that have proven to be perfect and rugged. After the getting the Suze-Araya wheels, I rebuilt these with Wheelsmith spokes. I have been holding these as spares, but after more than 1500 commuting miles, I see no need to have spare wheels.
All of the wheels are true both radially and axially to better than .010" (0.25mm); have high tension and have been stress relieved.
